The Labour Government would restore the “dignity” of hunters and trappers and their respective families, the hunters’ federation said in a statement yesterday.

The hunting federation congratulated the PL and Prime Minister Joseph Muscat on the electoral success, a week after both unveiled an agreement for closer collaboration.

The FKNK said it was set to carry on with the good work it had enjoyed with a Labour Party working group for the past three years, which led to the issuing of the joint press release earlier this month.

Labour pledged to introduce a fixed hunting season, remove the €50 special licence for spring hunting and “correctly” apply EU derogations to allow a limited spring hunting season from the coming month and trapping of European finches in autumn.
