PHOTO IN THE NEWS: "Extinct" Bird Seen, Eaten

February 18, 2009—A rare quail from the Philippines was photographed for the first time before being sold as food at a poultry market, experts say.

Found only on the island of Luzon, Worcester's buttonquail was known solely through drawings based on dated museum specimens collected several decades ago.
Scientists had suspected the species—listed as "data deficient" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's 2008 Red List—was extinct.

A TV crew documented the live bird in the market (above) before it was sold in January, according to the Agence France-Press news agency.


However, the buttonquail is from a "notoriously cryptic and unobtrusive family of birds," according to the nonprofit Birdlife International, so the species may survive undetected in other regions.

It is funny how environmentalists believe in Evolution, yet at every turn they try and circumvent it. Again, it is my opinion, that it is a God complex in them that makes them do what they do. "There is no God but self" is their mantra, and they believe they are the one true rulers of the universe. If it was the dark ages they would be the Earth center of the Universe people and would be burning others as heritics.
