[QUOTE="ColD, post: 2245102, member: 36926"] [b]Another email[/b] [COLOR="Blue"]Live-capturing of Huntable Species – SOLE Government Discretion The opening of a live-capturing season for huntable species depends SOLELY on Government’s good will or otherwise. The Federation for Hunting & Conservation – Malta (FKNK) carries full responsibility of this statement after participating at an urgent Malta Ornis Committee Meeting held yesterday specifically to discuss this season. On 15th June 2011, the Malta Ornis Committee made its recommendations to Government to declare live-capturing open seasons for this autumn/winter for the huntable species turtle doves, quails, golden plovers and song thrushes, as the same Government has always done every year since Malta’s EU Membership in 2004. The Ornis Committee Meeting was informed that Government has now requested a solid scientific Study regarding the conservation status of the species. Since Government had decided to apply a derogation to permit live-capturing of these huntable species, the Meeting agreed that a scientific Study should be undertaken and that this is to be ongoing. The FKNK has already supplied Government with the necessary tools and Studies for it to open live-capturing seasons for these otherwise perfectly legal huntable species as it has done every year. The FKNK therefore once again appeals to Government and the Prime Minister to confirm the open season dates as recommended by the Ornis Committee. This should be declared immediately, also so that the confusion and sufferings being endured by the thousands of Maltese and Gozitan trappers at present are relieved, since at the end of the day the same Maltese and Gozitan citizens and their families are at the receiving end of such Government decisions.
