true-that´s why there is a big anti-movement in britain for example. but over here it´s a crime to shoot at wild(endangered)animals just for fun (without a license). fucking triggerhappy morons-should shoot eachother! that would be a duty for wild life in europe!

@dennyecho Yes, sorry it is disrespectful, but what can I say. You clearly just don't know any better. For Whale Hunting, The Guardian published an article only one month ago, and numerous ones over the years previous. And for what you don't like, CABS would go away if you weren't a bunch of criminals.

This time of the year, you get paid for shooting them in Norway lol.

[FugleSkvadronen]

Hunting birds is not illegal

[insettu2000]

@patrick4485 Thats stupid...human sacrifice was a tradition in some countries too...so youre saying that it should continue. Open up your mind because people like you are damaging our reputation as a country.

[dennyecho]

@cellsnbirds I dont know which country you come from and quite onest I dont care not only you are disrispectful but even arrogant from now on your mails will go in the trash couse thats the only place they diserve to go and it takes a Criminal to recon another criminal.

[patrick4485]

Malta when compared to European surface area is a granule. We do not make a difference to the change of species population. Sorry but you should check where they nest in Europe because they do not nest in Malta due to dry and hot habitat. Bird hunting in Malta is a tradition and traditions cannot be stopped.
