The senseless and cruel practice of bird-trapping is currently ongoing in Malta, with the finch-trapping season set to end on 20 December. Finch-trapping is generally prohibited under EU law, but Malta is fraudulently using loopholes for research to allow the practice for Malta’s hunting lobby.
Here below you can see a propaganda video by Labour MEP Alex Agius Saliba pretending to do bird research with one of Gozo’s most infamous bird scientists. Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri also joined the charade.
Then below you can see the actual reality of bird-trapping that is ongoing. Just sub-literate brutes engaging in illegal and senseless practices. The footage is of a trapper in Bidnija earlier today getting caught by the police over illegal finch-trapping. 24 finches and illegal trapping equipment were confiscated.
