Release of waders seized by the Police and CABS on Malta - Beschlagnahme von Limikolen

Malta: During a routine vehicle patrol in the late afternoon of 16th September 2008 a CABS team heard unusual bird calls from a greenhouse complex in the area of the former maritime radio station (Wied Rini). The call was clearly that of a sandpiper species - which is not usually found near greenhouses. Our suspicions were aroused and we called in the A.L.E. The police patrol arrived promptly 15 minutes later and began a search of the greenhouse complex. They soon discovered a large aviary which contained almost exclusively protected species. Altogether 32 Little Stints (Tertuxa), 13 Wood Sandpipers (Swejda Cara), 8 Common Sandpipers (Pispisella), 5 Little Ringed Plovers (Monakella), 5 Green Sandpipers (Swejda), 2 White Wagtails (Zakak Adjad), 2 Yellow Wagtails (Isfar) and one each of Red-throated Pipit (Dizz Ahmar), Dunlin (Pispisella tad-Dabra), Temmincks Stint (Tertuxa Griza) and a Ring Ouzel (Malvzz tas-Sidra). Three other birds died before release. The birds, many of which had had their wings clipped, were subsequently cared for by MEPA specialists and taken away. The raid, which continued on into the early evening, resulted in the seizure of the largest collection of living water birds yet discovered on Malta.

when you hunters will learn 2 wrongs dont make a right. What does human abortion have to do with ILLEGAL hunting and trapping in large number with these excuses you all look so dumb and low life class. IF you still want your so called culture you all need to CHANGE your ATTIDUTE and be more respectful and law abiding. but pls we are fed up of FKNK LIES!!

That was hitler not the germans

[dragularoy]

yes new people get born again. but what they did to our ancestors has been already done and can't be erased. so screw the germans and the wombs they've come from. abortion is no excuse! germans kill unborn babies and they're pointing their fingers at us! they are saying that maltese hunters are criminals. then what are those that kill babies who didn't even see the light of this world!

@dragulary, dennyecho

"German cunts" again, is it now? Pointing fingers, are'nt we? Time you did your maths. If those are the same Germans that were involved in running and keeping quiet those oh-so-popular concentration camps, they'd be getting on for a hundred by now. Times change, people die, people get born, people learn. You'd do better to bin that "evil German gene"-concept you seem to be starting from.

Not all of malta , my little pea brained blogger.. just hunters. IF we had bears or whales or tigers .... these people will treat them pretty much the same way. And FYI, suggest you take a look at greenpeace and animal rights groups who DO intervene when it come to whaling and seal butchering

[dragularoy]

abortion is no excuse. Only a real fool would say that it is an excuse. Just as protected babies (The united nations says that they have the right to live) so the same is happening to birds. So if abortion is not stopped, than i think hunting should not stop. Did you ever see how much birds are killed in germany, and how many hunting trips are organised just for the sake of money? If you are a Maltese, than you are a traitor, because you are justifying does that killed our brothers 50 years ago,

[wizzdnet]

dragularoy, you are, right all killing of wild animals should be abolished, also abortion, however, only a real fool will use that excuse to justify killing of birds.

It is not the germans, we the MALTESE are sick of a small group bullies who do as they please just because they have a gun! The foreigners simply have more guts then us to confront the hunters! ...and for this we thank them!

Hunting is unsustainable, one day or another it will have to be abolished, so better find another hobby!

[dragularoy]

not to mention how many unarmed people and civilians did the Germans killed in WW2 my friend, especially the popular gas chambers that they used.

[dennyecho]

I agree with you 100% they should go and run after the Norwegians who are killing seals in a very brutal way.German cu"""

Thank You Cabs, a big thank you, you are warmly welcome by the Local Nature Lovers and thank you for a job well done.

As you must have by now realised there is one Hunting Season that is closed - Vote Hunting Season - where the firm hands of our Prime Minister are literally bound and no law enforcement on hunters is made.
