Wrath of Malta against hunting (1)

Dear Mr Lino Farrugia (The Sunday Times, July 9), please give the pleasure to 80 per cent of the population to walk over your dead bodies. Nothing will give us greater satisfaction.

It will be a great day for Malta to get rid of you and your cowboys once and for all. This island would blossom and it would go down in history as a memorable day, our national day. The EU will decorate us for bravery, if one of our politicians has what it takes to make this dream come true.

We might also consider conserving your bodies, lest future generations forget what we have to endure everyday when hunting is in season. You have the impertinence to call this a sport and a tradition. Traditions die fast; people used to hunt to eat and not as a sport.

Try clay pigeon shooting. Now that's a real men's sport. I am not a member of BirdLife. I love Mother Nature and all her beautiful creatures, something you are depriving us of. If we are brainwashed children, you must be an indoctrinated, antiquated, feather-brained individual who derives pleasure from inflicting cruelty.
