Dear friends and colleagues,
Video material shot by CABS members in the Italian Alps has severely shocked bird and nature lovers all over Europe. The film shows the massacre of over 10,000 song birds by over 100 hunters on an alpine mountain pass vital for bird migration. Within a short space of time thousands of shots were fired, the hunters shooting without consideration for the conservationists present. Shotgun pellets and dead birds rained down on the group of CABS and LAC members observing and protesting against this brutal and aimless slaughter. The targets were thousands of Meadow Pipits, Chaffinches, Bramblings and Hawfinches that had been illegally declared huntable by the local authorities.
There is more information - with access to the video on youtube, at http://www.komitee.de/en/actions-and-projects/italy/massacre-colle-san-zeno
Please also follow the links to send a protest mail to the new Italian government.
Many thanks in advance,
