The Federation for Hunting and Conservation – Malta (FKNK), in a statement has said that it is “instigating its thousands of members who abide by current regulations to do their utmost to ensure that the person responsible for an alleged criminal act, the killing of two flamingos, this time from a seacraft, is caught.”
The FKNK notes “that no one is suffering more than the legal hunters themselves each time a case concerning any violation of hunting regulations is heard of.”
The statement from continued, “the reports we see and read are often given a sensational aura as well as at times are not substantiated and proven, but no one can deny, that in a case like this, where flamingos are found killed with lead shot, there is a shotgun involved.
“If there is a shotgun involved, hunting is invariably mentioned and in the eye of the general public and in that of the less experienced, all hunters are bad.”
FKNK concluded, “It is therefore time that the good stands tall to defend himself by doing all in his power to ensure the bad is apprehended and eradicated. This is the only way that hunting can regain the social status it enjoyed not so long ago. These criminals have to be aware of FKNK’s wrath.”
FKNK urges anyone with any information in respect of this or any other illegal act is to phone the ALE section on telephone number 119 or the FKNK secretariat on 99474503.
….”These criminals have to be aware of FKNK’s wrath.” This good news.
But should people worry about the (armed) criminals’ wrath ?
The FKNK know who the criminals are in their midst. They are an embarrassment, but I suppose the hunters mentality will always prevent the offenders being ‘grassed’ and brought to justice. When was the last time the FKNK handed over one of their offenders?
