Hunters' federation against proposed Ghadira road
The Federation for Hunting & Conservation today urged the government to reconsider its plans to build a new road at Ghadira.
The federation said it is totally against any sort of destruction of the natural habitat, be this protected by some environment legislation or otherwise.
"In this sense the FKNK would like to encourage the Government to seriously reconsider and seek more environment friendly solutions to its existing plans to build a new road across Ghadira bay that might unnecessarily destroy natural habitat in the area in the process and at the end result."

Are you the same Joe Camilleri who on the 27th November posted the below comment???
“oh come on and let's go ahead with this project, and not because of some beetle
with seven legs we abandon a project from which all citizens will benefit from.”
If yes I find your comment here quite hypocritical.
@ lesley krugel
FKNK issues many positive comments, it is just that abolitionists cannot understand that hunting is legal all over the word. The person whom you said shot a robin, which is hard to belive, is called a POACHER and not a hunter.
Nodody (Birdlife and all the so called environmentalists) said nothing when hundreds of olive trees were chopped down in Mizeb because some trench that had to be done. Instead afterwards, it was the hunters again who re-planted young trees on their own without any help from ANYBODY.
Well done and thanks
Please educate yourself.
Where nature is concerned an animal in captivity is as good as dead, as it is removed from the delicate balance of the web of life.
Homo sapiens are a new species on this planet and all animals bread well enough before our intervention.
It’s also good to know that 21 animal spieces are extinct from the face of the earth EVERY DAY!!!
How about the hunters federation organising a manifestation (as they now like to call protests) with birdlife and join in an alliance against the proposed ghadira road..
It could lead to the oddest partnership followed by the quickest dissolution ever, most certainly en quicker than that of our Trade Unions.
We are truly entering the silly festive season.
Is the hunters practice of blood sport not contributing to the "destruction of the natural habitat"?
I think NGOs like FWA, FAA, or Birdlife's contribution to the project would be much more appriciated.
Please , please , please can someone explain to me how hunters who hunt for so called sport or pass time can ever be considered as Champions of the environment and their support for such a development can be taken seriously?
