HSS Meeting

Thanks to Steve Blacksmith and Halifax Scientific Society for the open invitation to tonights meeting at the central library. The talk by Steve Downing was really informative and interesting, even though the content was upsetting regarding the wholesale slaughter of song birds for restaurants in Sardinia and the random shooting of anything that flies over Malta.

We are thankful that Britain has many dedicated people and organisations that work hard to protect our wildlife. Even though there are problems in our own country with persecution of birds of prey and illegal hunting, this is small in comparison with the slaughter on Mediterranean islands.

I hope we never become complacent and continue to do all we can to protect and appreciate our natural world both at home and abroad.
