Illegal Trapping Video

The police were unable to respond to almost half the reports filed by only two BirdLife Malta surveillance teams over the last weeks, showing an ill-equipped force failing in spite of the best intentions. The teams, in just over two weeks, came across 78 illegal active finch trapping sites and filed 32 reports to the police, where single reports covered multiple illegalities in the same area.

Barbarians, they don't deserve wildlife on their island. I will never visit Malta as a tourist...as guardian of wildlife maybe!

I've seen and read the FKNK's perspectives on trapping (and hunting), and their own words make it crystal clear that they're thugs. They take no thought to moderation when hunting is otherwise legal, nor any thought to value in conserving rare and protected species. "If it flies, it deserves to die" is their motto.

They sicken me.

Than do it legal with rules! This is a tradition that is more than 600 years old!

I hunt "Illegal" but I do it with respect and only take MAX 3 bird par year all other bird fly back to nature! Your will never and can't win this Illegal bird hunter!

@drogoBROADBAND Ok I won't go into this, I don't eat birds anyway, I prefer mushrooms, but I met people that care more than animals than for people.. Those birds are usually sold in expensive restaurants where rich politicians, doctors and lawyers use to eat... It used to be part of the Greek cypriot tradition, but since trapping birds was banned they became very expensive and tempting for village people to earn money..

@savvakissss stupid reply, Barbarians couldn't give a toss about cats or dogs either, only themselves and their greed. But, people who care about animals do also care about people, but not all of them. Those whose only purpose in this world is to cause animals suffering and break the law, find that very few people care about them.

@drogoBROADBAND Barbarians are those who care more for cats dog and birds than for people! You colonial pigs

@maltesehunter01 If the cap fits buddy, but just to clarify where clarification isn't really needed, the people who engage in this barbaric activity are Barbarians. Is that clear enough? The only Maltese people I know personally are also disgusted by this.

@drogoBROADBAND If you are saying ALL maltese are like ' Barbarians', than you are being derogatory, ignorant and arrogant buddy!!!
