Chris Packham in court today, see article below.  

The slaughter of migratory birds continue in Malta both by government licensed killers and unlicensed trappers.  .

I for one will never return to Malta whilst the EU allow this slaughter to continue.  Likewise I will never return to Cyprus while the government doesn't stamp out illegal mist netting of birds on the Sovereign Base Areas.

    Not guilty. Disgusting that they have an exemption. Why allow it it's not like they're starving and need the food. 😤

    Glad he was ok. It will keep it on the agenda. The Maltese are fiercely independent about how they live but I'm sure things will change in the end.

    Glad commonsense prevailed.
