Malta

Following on from Sean's post re Birdlife Malta and their efforts to stop illegal hunting I have received the following E mail from Andre:

Hi all.

This is a very important poll, so could everyone please vote YES on it if they havent done so already, and to forward it far and wide! The government needs to know that they did a good thing here by closing the spring hunting season 10 days early!!

cheers -andre

For background to this issue go to

www.birdlifemalta.org

The Times of Malta regularly hold web site polls to judge public opinion on recent events and these have become an important tool for birders to have their voices heard, please take a look and vote.

Thanks

Nick

Looks like the poll has ended, Andre sends his thanks for those of you who got through in time to vote, will chase exact result but known to be a resounding Yes.

Just checked out the site - unforunately it looks like the vote has finished, not sure what the final count was but when I last checked there were 89% in favour of the government's decision, with somewhere in the region of 3000 people voting. Hopefully that will send the government a strong message.....

Thanks to those who voted.
