At least the guys in the video are celebrating a wedding, which makes more sense than some festa tar-rahal.

I have also written against the constant abuses by bird-hunters in Malta, but depicting a completely foreign culture as representative of Malta does not help, in any way, to help the campaign against hunting in Spring.

On the contrary, if such campaigners have to resort to such tactics they must be very hard-up with solid arguments.

The comparison may be funny, but far from helpful.

Also , when it comes to the use of guns , they’re a step above the Maltese , because in this clip at least , they’re using them in much the same way that we use fireworks ; anything beats bird slaughter.

Traditions.

That’s how some would condone such behaviour.

They could have celebrated indoors.

That’s because they have been deafened by the sound of their own gunfire. I would be surprised if they don’t all suffer with raging tinnitus.
