I am completely against hunting animals for game and I hate to be on this side of the fence, but I felt I had to reply. Your comment was uncalled for, because it was overly arrogant, aggressive, petty and delusional. I felt you crossed the line.

We utilise resources that were made available to us by the EU. This does not make us a colony of the EU or UK. We&#039;re in a Union - whether we take the money or not we (like you) have to abide by the laws passed in the European Parliament. 

Regarding tourism, that is your choice, but you&#039;re not going to be spoiled for choice when it comes to finding destinations where bird-hunting is illegal or where there isn&#039;t some form of bad policing. 

From your comment you wouldn&#039;t like Malta as a touristic destination anyway, because our countryside is nothing special when compared to the likes of the UK or Germany.  Do you really want to spend all that money travelling here to see garigue land when you have the Black Forest in Germany? Come on. 

Tourists come here for the sun, sea, food, drink and history ... not much else.

Let&#039;s also not get too delusional and forget where you&#039;re coming from. What about the sheer cruelty of fox-hunting? The fact that each street in London is under surveillance? 

Or this website http://policestate.co.uk/  Law breaking? What about the British bankers who got bonuses after contributing to the global recession when the Icelandic people imprisoned them? 

What about starting illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan putting innocent human lives at risk? Those are THE real warzones.]]></description>

The death of those babies doesn&#039;t damage the fragile ecosystem.
