That has always stopped us visiting Malta. Terrible.

Sadly, this is true Tess.

See here an article from Chris Packham about this:

Horrible, when we were there we were visiting an old barracks or hospital place and saw a man throwing stones at a dead seagull tied to a post, practising I expect.

I don't suppose the bird was dead when he first tied it up, he probably stoned it to death.
Evil b*****d.

Unfortunately hunting animals still seems popular with mankind all round the world.We believe our lovely dog was used for Hare Coursing in Southern Ireland, before Dogs Trust rescued him, brought him to UK where we were able to adopt him.This is another crel sport to both animals.Bob has some deep, nasty scars & a bit out of his ear

and of course we could continue talking about fox hunting and the ripping up of the fox by the hounds once caught and the daubing of fox blood on the young male/female teenagers learning the skills of the hunt. Oh yes very clean and civilized!

Really?
Yet more utter fantasy .
