Some years ago, Wild boar and Chital venison was easily available outside Rajaji National park, at the local butchers. Either it was a major con job, or the real thing, go figger.
These chaps seem to be adding to their protein intake :roll:

Look like egrets. Yes these must have been for the pot since they are eaten only by a few and not very saleable.

As Yaj says,they are egrets and they seemed to have used catapults to kill them.Most likely a case of pot hunting/poaching.

The law thinks not even one is OK.They cannot be hunted and anyone killing them is committing a crime.Period.

This is neither Hunting nor Business.
This is POVERTY.
The poor village kids forced to kill egrets for the pot , simply because they can not afford Mutton at Rs 200 a Kg or chicken at half that rate.
There are places (in India) where you will find the poor folks eating rats.
