Yes agreed, don't you think that I agree that...

    Illegal hunting in Lebanon

    Thanks for your reply, All these birds that we've mentioned on the other previous posts are protected, chaffinch and all the rest.

    Flamingo slaughter in Kuwait

    Thanks Jaff for mentioning it, to all those that are interested, I took the initiative to open a thread about the serious illegal hunting problems that are taking place in Lebanon on a scale rather unimaginable. I recommend you give it a look and learn about this serous threat that is surely...

    Flamingo slaughter in Kuwait

    Its definitely on a much more bigger scale simply because what goes on down here in Malta is documented and the law is trying to be enforced through direct enforcement and campaigns that are successfully curbing illegalities, on the contrary what goes on in Kuwait and other Middle East countries...
