Hunting and trapping are pastimes that should stay legal’ says Edwin Vassallo

May 25 2021

PN deputy Edwin Vassallo declared in parliament that hunting and trapping are pastimes that should not be removed or banned in Malta. He highlighted moving towards a sustainable form of hunting which entails knowing how much wildlife should be bred for all that was hunted.

Vassallo stated that the prime killer for birds is neither trapping nor hunting, but pesticides in fields and the amount of land destroyed. Vassallo stated that this is also detrimental to human beings, and has even led to death in some cases. He stated that a balance needs to be struck and that progress does not become regress and ended by saying that a hunter is the one who is knowledgeable about his practice and not he who shoots at protected species.

Maltese people among least likely to be stopped by police in EU

May 25 2021

According to research by the Fundamental Rights Agency, people in Malta are among the least likely in the EU to be stopped by police in the streets. Austria tops the poll, with Malta and Romania both ranking second lowest in terms of people reporting being stopped by officers. The research, published Tuesday, shows that ethnic minorities are usually stopped more frequently across the EU, but this is not the case in Malta.

The research showed that despite Sub-Saharan Africans being more likely to report perceiving police as disrespectful, 5% of Sub-Saharan Africans and descendants in Malta report being stopped, compared to the general population’s 7%. Across the EU, 80% of the general population say police treated them respectfully, but only 46% of minorities say so.

Malta experiences a similar situation with only four percent of Malta’s general population reporting the police were being disrespectful, but 35% of Sub-Saharan Africans having disrespectful encounters. Comparing the numbers to the EU average, fewer Maltese people perceive police as respectful. Across the EU, 65% perceived police to be respectful, whereas in Malta the statistic drops to 58%.
