A good rule of thumb in life is whenever you kill something, animal or human, don’t go on social media to brag about it. Nothing good comes of it. There is no point in snitching yourself out so that you can get some clout. Cause you know what’s better than clout, not being in jail for doing something stupid. But a man that goes by the name of Bobiean Sikro did not get the message or just ignored it. He took to social media to brag about killing an endangered hornbill and now he faces up to 5 years in prison.

According to World Of Buzz, in a report by Suar Indonesia, Bobien Sikro killed an endangered bird in Indonesia. The bird he killed was a weathered hornbill which is one of 14 protected species of hornbill in Indonesia. After he killed the bird, he posted pictures of himself holding the dead bird with the caption “I got into the forest and shot this (bird).”

The post went viral on Facebook and people flocked to him with anger. The backlash turned out to be too much for Sikro and he soon deactivated his account. But before he could erase all evidence of his latest killing, people made copies of the photos and sent it to the police. Siro has since been arrested and now faces up to 5 years in an Indonesian jail and a fine of $17,650 U.S.

If for some miracle, Sikro doesn’t end up in jail in Indonesia, he could face punishment in his home country of Malaysia. The Jabatan Perhilitan Semenanjung Malaysia released a statement after hearing of this incident that said the hornbill is also a protected animal in Malaysia. Any person that hunts or harms the bird faces a fine of $24,000 and up to 3 years in prison.

The real lesson here is if you’re going to kill a bird, kill a chicken and don’t kill any shiny colorful birds.
