A photograph purportedly showing a group of men posing with a recently killed condor appeared on social media in May 2016, along with the insinuation that it depicted a recent event that had occurred somewhere in the United States: While it's unclear how those who can't read this would be able to read the paragraph displayed above, those who did read it were provided with a hefty dose of misinformation, mainly that the pictured condor was killed in the United States in a recent incident. This image first began to circulate in April 2013 and was taken in the Andean province of Azuay in Ecuador. The person involved didn't go unpunished, either Yahoo News reported in January 2014 that Manuel Damian was sentenced to six months in prison for killing the bird: As of May 2016, the Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) was listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature: Prosecutors had asked that Damian, 60, be given the maximum penalty available, but he received a reduced sentence because of his age.
