Emmm as a thought; ever tried you luck about BirdLife’s ‘limited’ in their lexicon???

If you try again, you should find "limited" in the hunter's lexicon. If it’s not in the “lexicon”, look up their letters as printed by this newspaper on the subject of hunting and trapping derogations.

@ J Borg
Recently a certain David Conlin from Germany wrote in this paper that he visits Malta regularly and spends no less than 18 hours daily in the Maltese countryside, and he does this during the hunting season. This foreigner has not complained about being unable to go wherever it pleases him because he knows that there is such a thing as private property, and yet he spends many hours (daily, mind you) in our countryside, and this when the hunters are present.
So my questions to you are: if the hunters, as you write, “banish the rest of the population” from the countryside, how come foreigners who are sworn enemies of the hunters enjoy its freedom? Is it perhaps because, unlike you, they regularly manage to get off their arses and away from their computers to look at the real world around them? If you cannot answer sensibly, then just clam up!

J Borg, kiss goodbye to the countryside. J Pace is suggesting using it as vineyards!! According to him, you will only be left with enjoying the Nature Reserves - obviously Sundays only!

if what we can term as countryside is limited to hunters - who also complain that birds to shoot at are limited.....
then to our comrades in arms - who obviously due to their evolved socio-cultural virtues, must have stretched their perspective, tolerance and understanding - one can ask what they make out of the fact that they banish the rest of the population from such limited countryside so that they can indulge in their lust to kill (hopefully) unprotected birds and shower lead around?

Try to pull the qther one Mr CJ Sciberras!
The word limited denotes the hunters/trappers ability to adapt with the sense of Sustainable Hunting, not a buzz word but the way forward in an ever globalized modern times.
Sustainable Hunting and trapping, is the way forward, this is no fictitious statement but an endorsed legal structure thru the EU framework

C J Sciberras, I suuggest you inform yourself better about the issue of hunting, as it is apparent that your blinkers are limiting your view of the true picture!

Maybe, you could enlighten readers about the lack of respect, tolerance and trustworthyness in BLM's lexicon!

If you had any knowledge about hunting, you would realize that hunting in Malta as opposed to hunting anywhere else is already a limitation.

180 Kms (Malta's huntable area) out of the whole globe makes hunting in Malta limited in several ways. It is your sort that want to see it more limited.

If you are incapable of understanding the limits being suggested by hunters, rather then contesting the word "limited" in the hunter's lexicon, I suggest you include the words tolerance and understanding in yours. These would definitely widen your limited perspective of hunting.
