Taking to Castille Square in front of the Office of the Prime Minister, Birdlife Malta protested the ‘rampant illegal killing of protected birds during this year’s autumn hunting season’.
The protestors held up images of the various protected birds that were retrieved or found dead as the hunting season opened in Malta.
Laying on the Castille steps to signify the dead birds, two of the members held up a poster reading ‘this blood is on your hands, Robert ABela’.
‘During the activity we conveyed a clear message to PM Robert Abela and the MaltaGov’s Cabinet of Ministers about the massacre of protected birds currently taking place in the Maltese countryside and their lack of action on hunting illegalities and bird protection’, the NGO said in a statement.
