Title: Malta slaughter continues, in spite of Raptor Camp efforts
Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 04-Oct-10, 11:19:42 AM
A press release from BirdLife Malta on Friday. I don't know whether to put my head on the desk and cry, or just go out there and bang heads... don't think I could take the useless sadness of it all, tho. This kind of thing needs cool heads - and more than a little bravery. Neither of which I possess.

It is sickening, Jeanne. Which is why I am trying to keep it to the front of people's thinking. There are obviously exceptions, but by and large, "our" NA birds have half a chance. Many birds that migrate over the Med area do not. Whatever you and anyone else can do to register your protest - or to support organisations like BirdLife -  please do it! And unless someone on the Forum tells me to stop it, I hope I can continue to post on this vital subject.

makes me want to declare open season on the hunters. Not kill them but some birdshot in their @ss ought to make them think about it just a little.  :devil:
