Stop the Slaughter

The RSPB and Birdlife International are running a campaign to Stop the Slaughter of Birds in Malta.

Malta flouts EU directives on the indiscriminate hunting of wild birds. If you are a member of the RSPB you will have been sent a form to sign that will be sent to Lawrence Gonzi the Maltese Prime Minister, please sign and return.

If you are not a member press on the link above which contains a downloadble form for you to sign. The link shows a picture of a Robin caught on a lime stick which I hope you find as distressing/disgusting as I do.

  1. I've already signed the petition. Hope millions more do or at least boycott Malta until they see sense.

  2. I signed the petition, and cried my eyes out when I read the newsletter from the RSPB last week. Malta was always high on my list of places I would like to go on holiday. Not now, not ever. :(

  3. Yep I have signed and returned mine, and lets hope enough people do the same, so that the Maltese authorities sit up and listen!
