More than 24 critically endangered cockatoos were rescued by police after being found stuffed in water bottles for illegal trade.

Smugglers crammed the Yellow-crested cockatoos into empty bottles so they could get through customs at Port of Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, Indonesia.

But Indonesian Police discovered the birds, which can be sold for as much as £650 each, and cut them free so they could receive medical attention.

The Yellow-crested cockatoo was listed as a critically endangered species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in 2007.

This is disgusting but so are you for this comment. Don't judge a country based on a sampling of its citizens and don't start on Indonesia being immoral as if other countries aren't.

You legit said "Indonesia is disgusting" - in those words, exactly as written. How is that not bashing a whole country for the choices of some of its people?

Sorry, wording may not have been right but you knew what i meant.

The animals that you eat go through a lot of mistreatment and unnecessary death as well, so stop being so disheartened about this. Unless you are a vegetarian/vegan, you have no reason to scream cruelty.
