Falcons have long inspired passion among Arabs. The Bedouin used them to hunt and still recite poems extolling them. Medieval caliphs led parties into the bush to watch their falcons swoop down on game. Today Gulf royals spare no expense on such outings. With prey at home dwindling, they have began hunting abroad, in such countries as Mongolia, Morocco and Pakistan. Some call it “falcon diplomacy”.
But even at such heady prices, there are not enough wild falcons to satisfy the demand. The saker falcon, as a favoured local species in the Gulf is known, is already endangered. In the Arabian peninsula wild ones are all but extinct. Many countries have banned trade in them. But buyers and sellers have found ways around the rules.
of course they will find other successful solutions
Humans can be so horrible.
