BirdLife Call Out More Instances Of Illegal Hunting

Sep 27 2023

NGO Birdlife Malta issued a statement to call out the continuing issue of illegal hunting taking place all over Malta as many birds migrate over the islands.

‘Not even areas wherein hunting is prohibited, like the sanctuaries in Buskett and Għadira, are enough to protect birds from illegal hunting, with four picked up from such areas by the end of the week.

The NGO detailed how, among other instances, a hunter was caught by a member of the public shooting a Bee Eater (Qerd in-Naħal) in Buskett.

A nightjar (buqrajq), harp (arpa), yellow legged-gull (gawwija prima) were also shot down, with some being picked up by the Environmental Protection Unit (EPU) and others found dead.

The NGO is calling upon anyone who comes across such illegalities to report them to authorities immediately.
