Quite a paradox.

“PS for Animal Rights”. Who are the animals being defended, the birds, or the hunters and trappers ?

Looking for ‘cracks’ that enable one to legally circumvent doing the right thing for birds, by someone responsible for ‘Animal Rights,’ is unbelievably crass.

And trappers have votes, not finches.

With friends like this to uphold their rights, what need do animals have for enemies?

Why aren’t they protesting?

Bird killers can be seen as falling under the aegis of the Parliamentary Secretariat for Animal Rights, since at least by their actions they fit in well into that category.

Does Times of Malta even proofread its own work?

It’s about upholding the spirit of the law and not about searching for cracks, Galdes. But you wouldn’t understand, would you.
