Maltese poachers travel to Scotland, shoot protected birds

I heard rumours about this kind of thing when I was in Malta in 2010, helping with the BirdLife Malta Springwatch camp. It's a bit of a shocker :( http://www.birdlifemalta.org/view.aspx?id=342

  • I hope that there is communication between Birdlife Malta and the RSPB and the various Wildlife crime officers within the UK, who can then co-ordinate survelliance of these selfish idiots. I for one would be happy if their ID was broadcast on this and other websites so we could all look out for them.

    In the past I have seen guys dreesed in camo gear but without camers or guns and I have wondered what they are up to

    Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can

  • this country should ban all products coming from malta and sue the eu whose laws allow the murdering scum to come here how would these buggers like it if they were hunted themselves thats what i feel like doing to these people they donot deserve to live hunting is outdated and not nesscesary it belongs in the past and hunting wild animals and birds should be banned i cannot understand what pleasure some people have in hunting wildlife these people have some blood lust, the only way we can stop these scum from coming into the uk is if we leave the eu alltogether
