Maltese Hunters Killing Raptors in UK!

[Adam Cheeseman]

Just seen this on a thread on Birdforum. Bleedin' furious if this is true.

'Three persons were on Monday night apprehended by customs at Malta International Airport in possession of dead protected birds.
The three persons were returning from a hunting trip in the UK.
A joint operation between Customs, Administrative Law Enforcement police, MEPA officials and veterinary services officials revealed a number of protected birds including birds of prey concealed in their luggage amongst other legal game. The birds were protected by international law. The persons in question are expected to be arraigned in court soon.'

Cheers,

Adam

if this is true, then these 3 , hopefully will get put away, also they should explain as to who put them up, this needs investigating thoroughly, you can bet someone or somebody over here is involved, rossy.
