this island or rather the people on it,are very confusing,on the one hand they welcome everything and everyone to not only p-ass through here,but stay and be treated like greek gods,yet on the other hand they object to their own,to practice a hobby which has been handed down to them by millions before them,bird trapping,and hunting,its an insolt to anyone<s intellegance, cause if we all had the same idea,s,we all be eating snails or frogs,and to say it all,for every bird that passes over this tiny island another million migrate over the sea, so i encourage birdlife and others,to leave these few hunters alone to pass their time anyway they wish, and go after the big shots that are ruining nature, in the first place,people that are causing all these illnesses,like cancer, but i guess hipocretes only try to do whats best convenient for them,
