Do we punish Killer Whales for playing with seals? If you eat KFC, does that make you accessary to homocide?! Im just saying you have to give concessions both ways, life is about rubbing along together, most disagree with killing birds, some like to do it, thats life. Some might say it is ridiculous to campaign for birds and donate money to that cause when children are dying of starvation.The locals are obviously upset, they're right that they get more attention from Birdlife than Greece/Cyprus recieve, they're also over reacting that its affecting tourism to a huge degree. Maybe allowing them to shoot for a short season, would result in greater cooperation and ability to protect scarcer species?</blockquote>
