Heavy fire in the south, all quiet in the north

I read all the comments. In all articles published in the last weeks. But I still found no reason. Not one reason. Why do these men shoot the birds? Why? Does anyone know one comprehensible reason?

"What we saw this morning was organised crime at its best," Mr Petrelli said.

Filming of a poaching act with the star of the show evading the cameras! That’s a brilliant idea for the sequel to La Piovra series. Oh come on Mr Petrelli, if this poaching act is as bloated as you comment do we have to endure the terror of a camorra? I am all shivers just thinking about it!

Was not the season open yesterday? If i'm not mistaken the last day is tomorow. And if only 12 hunters were out and shot a packet of cartriges each; that's the 300 shots they heard. Wow that's a lot. What are CABS complaining about?

Chris Finch
you are the one missing the point.

Despite a large police presence as you rightly pointed out "THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT MENTION THEIR (CABS) CALLING THE POLICE "

They would rather blame the whole farce upon "organized crime" then admit that the police were doing their duty.

Their making a mountain out of a mole hill is quite obvious, in this and all other "MASSACRES' they persist in trying to get the gullible to believe.

I condemn illegalities but also condemn those that try to inflate the noise of a fart into a ginormous explosion

The title of this news article reminds me of the film "All Quite on the Western Front" !!!

I tend to think that scientific contribution should be given some more space here. Lead shot can be replaced with an environmentally friendly alternative. Advanced Highly Intellectual and Very Emotionally Intelligent German technology has potential grounds here, considering the environmentally friendly military technology it produces in order to extinguish human life but safe guarding the environment. German and Italian Shipyards are very good apparently in producing Environmentally Friendly military equipment like Submarines for example.

This participation of foreign collective experts should be reconsidered here. Do Maltese experts and pioneers of nothing participate in what goes on in Germany, for example ?

I swallow my Maltese pride and indeed feel ashamed. Very well done to Malta and I thank you very much for the passport you gave me.

300 hundred shots in Deimara and another of CABS reported massacres or to be more in keeping with their name, SLAUGHTER)

STRANGELY THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT MENTION THEIR CALLING THE POLICE OR OF THE POLICE BEING PRESENT.

With all their sophisticated equipment thay fail to "get footage of a poacher carrying a weapon". So what exactly are they trying to prove? Surely the 300 hunderd shots (if indeed 300) were recoreded over quite some time. So what prevented them from getting such footage?

I fully agree with Leonardo Petrelli from Catania, what CABS are doing is no less then "organised crime at its best".

Petrelli and Schwarze don't interfere in our internal affairs.
As for Petrelli, I am surprised that coming from Sicily he doesn't know what organized crime is.
The title reminds me of the film "All quiet on the Western Front".

It is always amusing to see how the hunters always condemn those reporting and trying to stop illegalities and not those acting illegally. This will surely sit well with the EU commission when it receives its report on this spring hunting season. Its the coffin of your 'hobby' you are nailing gentlemen.
It seems a crime was committed in an organised way, ergo - organised crime.

Ara veru dawn il-kaccaturi saru qishom tfal, jilghabu tal cowboys and indians, ma min hu akbar minnhom. ma jafux li tal CABS (Commottee Against Baby Slaughter) qieghdin bit-trombi u bil-hightech equipment halli jaqbdu lil dawn il-qabda kriminali jigru wara xi gamiema u summiena, dawn min qallom li ghandom xi dritt fuq dawn il-hlejjaq helwin t'Alla, ghax ma jmorrux isibu xi tarbija fil-guf t'ommha u jqattawa bicciet, mela jsibu ghasfur jahasra ghax ma jistax jiddefendi lilu innifsu.

U xi nghidu ghall- Forza ta l-ordni, dawn qed jithalsu mit-taxxi tieghi mhux biex imorru ghal kacca u l' insib bhal ma qalet il-BLM imma biex jikkontrollaw u jaqbdu lill cowboys ha jpaxxu lil Indians.

Andrew u David, jiddispjacini, sew qed jghid Mr Petrelli, din mhi xejn hlif ORGANIZED CRIME, u fiha hemm imdahhlin il Prim u l-Kummissarju, ghidilhom Mr Pertelli li int gej min pajjiz li hu ferm maghruf ghal genna ta lart, sa anke tfal tista thalli barra hemm u hadd ma jaghti kashom, proset Sur Petrelli ibqa sejjer hekk, u kullhadd ifahhrek tax-xoghol qalbieni kontra il-Maltin.

Signor Petrelli..

You don't even know the meaning of "organised crime".. if you had to do the antics you do here in Malta in your own homeland, I am inclined to think that the consequences would be far more drastic !!!

Btw do give my regards to Herr Schwarze and Maj. Conin Esq.. tell them they are always welcome for coffee and biscuits !!! I mean.. after all they are only innocent birdwatchers with absolutely NO hidden agenda or sense of provocation are they..

"Organised crime"! Isma l-iehor!!

Get lost, Mr Petrelli and don't insult our intelligence. This is not the land of the Camorra, Ndrangheta or Mafiia.

Organised crime my foot. Try what you're doing here in some regions of YOUR country if you want to face some REALLY organised criminals.
