[QUOTE="David, post: 1454551, member: 528"] In support of the initiative by BirdLife International and the French Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO) to achieve a ban on Lapwing killing in the EU, particularly in France, CABS and Proact have started an email protest campaign directed at the French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The email can be sent from the CABS website - in French and German - at: [URL]http://www.komitee.de/online/index.php?protestmail&protest=sarkozy[/URL] The text in English reads: “[I]Dear President,[/I] [I]Despite intensive efforts to protect the species, Lapwing populations in Europe have declined by more than half in the period 1985-2005. If this trend continues, it is only a question of time before the species disappears altogether from Europe. In view of this drastic and negative population development, the killing of hundreds of thousands of individuals can no longer be considered sustainable and must be stopped immediately. I therefore demand that you exercise all your powers to effect a ban on the hunting and trapping of Lapwing and other endangered wader species in France. [/I] [I]Yours sincerely[/I]” Please take time to support this campaign. For those who have not yet seen the CABS video of Lapwing trapping in Northern France (and the barbaric stone crush traps) please go to [URL]http://www.komitee.de/en/index.php?youtube_france[/URL] [/QUOTE]
