Reaction to this Honourable speech against Birdlife and in favour of hunters.

The hunting lobby
Ralph Cassar, energy and environment spokesman, Alternattiva Denmokratika, Attard.

Labour MP Joe Abela got all hot under the collar last week about a BirdLife leaflet and a court case involving two of his constituents.

Is Mr Abela saying that the countryside is not taken over by hunters? Is he saying that BirdLife should not have published a leaflet about hunting? Does he expect that whoever breaks the law is given preferential treatment because they happen to be his constituents?

Maybe he should concentrate on helping his party draw up policies that protect the countryside from further degradation instead of wasting time on the hunting issue.

Spring hunting will soon be a thing of the past, whatever the Labour Party or, for that matter, government Ministers say, thanks to all those of us who voted yes for accession to the EU.
