Waste Site Managers Block Wildlife Volunteers Rescuing Injured Storks

Volunteers from the nonprofit "For the Wildlife" went to the Dudaim waste site to rescue injured storks, but they say they quickly found themselves under attack by the site’s management instead of being helped. According to the report, the managers of the facility launched what the article describes as a full-blown campaign against the volunteers.

The conflict escalated to the point that the volunteers received a warning before a lawsuit. One volunteer said, "It shook me to get a claim for half a million shekels when I got up in the morning to help animals." The report does not say whether any actual legal case has been filed yet.

The article frames the dispute as part of a broader struggle over access to the waste site for people trying to assist injured wildlife, particularly storks. The volunteers had come specifically to help the birds, but were instead confronted by the site operators. No further resolution is described in the report.
