When shocking is NOT enough Roderick Galdes and all those who say that trapping does not harm birds should see these photos Last Monday, a large consignment of hawfinches and other protected birds was intercepted by the Guardia di Finanzia in southern Italy, most probably destined to be trafficked to Malta so as to be used as decoy birds for the upcoming trapping season. News that Malta is to resume trapping and that the Maltese are ready to pay 100 euros for each hawfinch are spreading fast it seems A considerable number of these birds had died by the time they were found, as a result of the crammed conditions in which they are transported. The Parliamentary Secretary for Animal Rights (mother of all ironies) should hang his head in shame for allowing such a shocking degree of cruelty to take place on his watch as a result of pre-electoral voter promises - seems that the impact of bird trapping in Malta is being felt far beyond our shores and is impacting wild bird populations in other parts of Europe, North Africa and beyond, in the mad scramble to supply decoy birds to trappers Have a look at this article in an Italian newspaper about this trafficking from last year, especially the international profile Malta is getting as a result of this umpteenth delizzju - ISTHU JEKK TAFU!!!!! geapress.org/altre-news/dalla-sicilia-tra-le-arance-un-carico-di-avifauna-protetta-diretta-a-malta/42665
