Like many decent animal loving people, I walk my dog between Żonqor Point, Marsascala, and Xgħajra. Well before the hunting season opens, gun-toting men roam this area, killing whatever they lay their eyes on. It’s coming to a point that these self-made Rambos are intimidating people like me with the intention to scare us away from walking our dogs on “their” hallow ground.

When I stopped a police patrol and complained to them, they, (the police) said the men were within the law. So what shall I do? Apply for a gun licence to get a sense of protection myself?

Apparently, the law of the jungle prevails. No wonder so many are disillusioned with the institutions of this country.
