Malta’s hunters defy the law

Malta’s hunters defy the law - again…

By Charlie • April 24, 2008 • 3 comments

Despite a ban on spring hunting, many of Malta’s despicable hunters ignored the law and took to the countryside to gun down migratory birds as per usual last week. No doubt I’ll get the usual mails accusing me of ‘racism’ or ‘ignorance’ but I’ll take the flak if it means these ignorant people keep getting publicity they clearly don’t want. There’s more at Times of Malta and Times (UK) Onine.

He wants to be a writer, and thinks no-one would believe his life could be so charmed if he didn't take photos of as many of the birds he sees as possible. Blogging with 10,000 Birds fits his aims, needs, and insecurities perfectly. Really - do birders get much more fortunate than this?

The Maltese hunters are bastards. There’s no other word for it. Thye’re beneath contempt.
