Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gallina" data-source="post: 1302518" data-attributes="member: 70029">'The problem is that a team of about 20 police officers have to control 12 000 registered hunters.'First of all its 20,000 registered hunters and its 35 ALE officers. Living in Malta, you should know.'The punishment quoted by Gallina was never, I say NEVER given to any hunter to date on this bloody island i happen to live in.'No never, that's the pity, because I assure you the day it is would be the day we'd see these idiotic acts grinding to a halt. The point I was trying to make is that I hate to see you publicly condemning Malta and its entire poulation with generalised comments rather than criticising the system and the poachers. It is common knowledge that the UK has a disastrous record in all walks of everyday life, be it murders, rapes, child abductions, robberies, abortions, its involvement in wars, the suspicions surrounding Diana's death, the list is endless. I for one would never slander the whole of the country because of the acts of pockets of people. Attack the poachers and attack the government. They are to blame.</blockquote>
