CABS autumn Malta bird camp (1 Viewer)

And is it too much to hope that something will be done about the hunters, presumning they can be identified by the video?




Could individuals or organisations take action against the Maltese government for failing to uphold the law, I'm thinking of (for example) the German authorities who put time and money into protecting their Lesser Spotted Eagles only to have one of those very birds shot down?

Or even more simple, something along the lines of civil actions?

We file all incidents as official complaints with the (Maltese) police who present them to the public prosecutor if concrete evidence is available. In the case of the hunter picking up the Marsh Harriers we had our video (and stills from it) digitally improved by a friendly TV station and the police are hopeful of an identification and charges being pressed.

Other hunters have been charged as a result of our statements.

Hi David!
I can see that this has not been active since 2008, but I will write something here regardless.
I am of Maltese decent, and as a bird lover, I really would like to get involved! This is simply barbaric that this is happening and it needs to stop! And I would like to help!
I can speak Maltese, and would gladly like to volunteer my time!
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help!
This must be stopped!
