Why is it that none of you, with the exception of 400mark, albeit fleetingly, bothered to comment about this? A 6 month suspended sentence? Are any of you even remotely aware that the law in Malta carries a maximum of 2 years imprisonment and a €14,000 fine for anyone caught poaching?I condemn illegal hunting. I am making this point however because in this forum you seem hell bent on dragging Malta through the dirt, slinging all sorts of names, and basically generalising when the problem is the poachers and the impotent law enforcers.It is not the majority of hunters, it is not the Maltese people, we are not cavemen nor idiots, we're not stubborn nor barbarians. Yet there are a few amongst us, as there are many amongst you, who persist in this sort of unnacceptable behaviour. Please lay off Malta as a nation and just direct your comments at all forms of poaching and poachers.</blockquote>
