Message: <blockquote data-quote="Black Wheatear" data-source="post: 1316104" data-attributes="member: 51424">To repeat myself, not a normal event, then here was a perfectly reasonable reply to your posts on the 'other' thread where I thought you'd given up and gone away.Gallina or Mr Gallina,You direct us to a document produced by hunters to support their views and refute all others. This you inform us is the ‘whole’ and ‘actual’ truth of what is really happening in Malta. On the other hand you believe all anti-hunting articles, documents and postings here are either completely misguided or just lies to feed anti-hunting sentiments. I really don’t think you can be critical here of others especially so, when you yourself are happy to so completely believe in one side of the argument and not the other! You can reason with people here, but do not expect folk here to be so gullible as to simply dismiss their concerns based on a document written by hunters for hunters.For my part, then experience has shown me that exaggeration is present in most impassioned debate and it always becomes necessary to separate fact from fiction. What is very clear is the actual fact of illegal shooting of many protected species in Malta and the apparent lack of any resemblance of legal enforcement used against the perpetrators of these vile crimes. For as long as this situation continues, then so will the islands be tainted in the eyes of many and suffer criticism from all reasonable thinking peoples in not just Europe, but throughout the world. Deservedly you stand in a minority Gallina and in time the will of the majority will prevail.</blockquote>
