Birdlife Malta launched a petition last week to ask the Maltese government to comply with EU law on the illegal hunting of birds. They already have 22,000 signatures, but the more the better. The link is as follows: http://www.birdlifemalta.org/petition/sign/
There is much international press about bird hunting and trapping in Malta and I used to live there and saw it for myself. Although the current generation seem to be hunting less, much still needs to be done to stop it - thousands of migratory birds between Europe and Africa are killed every year. Please sign the peition.
