Online Outrage for "Eat with Keomony": How to Cook Ibis
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): In order to earn money from social media, a small number of young people who no longer care about the law are ready to destroy even endangered birds.
Despite education efforts by conservation officials at the Ministry of Environment, a beautiful young woman posted a video on Eat With Keomony Facebook page, showing how to chop up and cook what was reported to be the carcass of a giant ibis. Giant ibis are an endangered species of bird native to Cambodia, and it is illegal in Cambodia to capture, kill, or eat one.
Following the recent posting of this video clip, social media users in Cambodia exploded to criticize it, and there were many strong comments against video producers making money from killing endangered wildlife.
After the angry reaction of the public, on October 20, 2022, the owner of the above Facebook page deleted the video clip from the social network Facebook.

Correction: The bird on the table was apparently an Asian Openbill Stork, which not as rare and endangered as the Giant Ibis.

But she can mitigate by reporting the farmer, and raising awareness of the wildlife issues on her ‘web’ page. Actually put her position as one of these influencer types to good use, not just counting the proceeds.truffledog wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 4:58 pm damage done..its become too easy to destroy somebodies reputation with a (false) post in social media.
She could also take a moment to correct people’s errors in judging her incorrectly, by presenting the facts.
“It’s not this bird, it’s that one.
This one is endangered, here is some information about these issues, and the threats to habitats.”
Etc, etc.
Otherwise, it is quite possible that she would have cooked a dead endangered one from her own ignorance, anyway.

Surprised we don't see more of these stories than we already do considering the amount of countryside scrubbers making very crappy YouTube videos

Re: Online Outrage for "Eat with Keomony": How to Cook Ibis
All true what you say..but the follow up story wont be acknowledged by as many people as the "shocking viral news" that eating a rare animal caused. So in the sum there will be a huge negative effect on her (and the country habits she is representing).Freightdog wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 5:17 pmBut she can mitigate by reporting the farmer, and raising awareness of the wildlife issues on her ‘web’ page.

I also share your opinion that the concept of "dont eat rare animals" does not apply to some habitants of rural Cambodia. They eat what they can catch. Education will be the key.

It's still illegal to hunt and eat most wildlife whether it's endangered or not.truffledog wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 4:58 pm damage done..its become too easy to destroy somebodies reputation with a (false) post in social media.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
