The world seems fascinated by exotic delicacies. Some menus contain shark fin soup, while others add fried scorpions to the cocktail hour offers. Few people realize or stop to consider if these delicacies are moral or ethical.

One such dish is flamingo meat. Unbelievable? Think again, it is the horrifying truth.

Flamingos are among the most affectionate and beautiful birds. With those iconic pink and red feathers, they often find a home in zoos, parks, and gardens. A majority of people love them and admire their gracefulness as they move, yet surprisingly a small percentage of people hunt and consume them.

Before addressing the argument and outrage towards this practice, let’s highlight some apparent yet overlooked questions.

Firstly, why would someone look at a flamingo and think, “I wonder how it tastes?” Secondly, how is it ethical or humane to hunt and consume animals that exist domestically or present verifiably little environmental threat? Lastly, do the few who consume flamingo meat not appreciate all living creatures?

Please note, the author performs no scientific test regarding the reasons behind the consumption of flamingos, nor does the author feel appreciative to any interested parties

Moreover, information on flamingality hunting raises disturbing statistics. Flamingos bloom from egg to juvenile stage in groups of thousands. Hunting parties are documented to capture 2,500 to 3,000 flamingos annually. In unknown locations across the globe, hunters kill juveniles and broilers for consumption without abiding by any regulations, ethics, or environmental macro goals.

Flamingos maintain essential roles in the ecological systems they occupy. Their ability to eat algae and offer nutrients through droppings marks them as useful and essential as pesticides. When undisturbed or unguided, their role becomes evident seldomly.

There’s hope. Writing off traditions and cultures to extinct unsustainable consuming habits will take time. But hope lives in responsible individuals building moral framing around human relationship with animals. Please sign petitions or write civic leaders to promote ethical reasoning instead of merely sharing the flamingo recipe. Respect for the earth should not exist uniquely amongst animal lovers.

Dining traditions should not come at the expense of animal welfare while pinpointing an inhibitor down worrying people is preferable.

Let's work together, embracing impact free habits and passing a just world down
