    Nice stock photo! I’m sure those people all hunt.

  2. Joe Fenech says:

    Istra kemm jidhru civilizzati. Qishom Svedizi !

    • Natalie says:

      Ma kontx taf? Il-Maltin kollha bjondi. Hadd ma jixbah lil xi Libjan jew Sirjan. Dawk ghall-puxbakk biss tajbin.

  3. numerus says:

    Same campaign manager as Labour for sure – use faces which aren’t the typical hunter stereotype.

  4. George B. says:

    Ma nistax naghmilha ta’ voluntier ghax sa nivvota LE GHALL-KACCA. Sorry.

  5. Clifford says:

    Are those people in the advert voting in favour of spring hunting?

  6. nadia says:

    I wonder who they stole that photo from. Looks very much like your everyday Maltese hunting crowd.

  7. thealley says:

    From their appearance, those faces could be anything but hunters. Someone should track them and tell them that the Maltese hunters are using them for something they could be against.

  8. Neil says:

    (nisa u rgiel)
    Brilliant! Where do I sign up?

  9. J.J. says:

    Is anyone of those pictured on the flyer Maltese?

  10. Arnold Layne says:

    Are any of the people in the picture even Maltese? What wankers.

  11. Antoine Vella says:

    They could’t have chosen a more unlikely set of people to represent Maltese hunters; there’s even a token black man.

    This is a stock photograph and found on dozens of websites, especially of medical or dentistry clinics (all those perfect teeth) like this one.

    Whoever is in charge is not running but ruining their campaign.

  12. Charles Morgan says:

    Funny how they included the 4th guy from the right. They don’t strike me as the type who would be very happy to have him on their team.

  13. Joseph Attard says:

    Mentality of a hunter: I conserve nature by killing birds before they breed!

  14. bob-a-job says:

    The FKNK are trying to deceive people into thinking hunters look like foreign models.

    This is what hunters look like.

    The people in the FKNK poster really work for DJHOTLINE

    http://djhotline.ca/wordpress/?page_id=31

    Actually they work for Dunamis Human Capital

    http://shop.morphaworks.com/

    No, they really work for Austin Therapy for Girls

    http://austintherapyforgirls.com/2013/11/the-habits-of-supremely-happy-people/

    Well one should have gathered by now that the ones in the FKNK poster are merely models (it would be interesting to know whether the models have been paid to appear on the FKNK poster or whether someone just lifted their photos from the internet)

    On the other hand, just as a reminder, this is what a Maltese hunter look like

  15. Nighthawk says:

    So they chose a stock photo they thought matched the public’s perception of what hunting supporters looked like.

    I’d say it’s a little optimistic.

  16. vanni says:

    The picture shows clean smiling people, unlike the true face of your typical Neanderthal hunter.

    But don’t worry, we know what a kaccatur looks like like:

    It seems that the hunters have taken a leaf or two out of Labour’s election campaign. Lies and misinformation plus quite a war chest.

  17. Romina says:

    The photo is very representative of the hunters – half of them are women, one-eighth black, all good-looking and approaching the issue with a lovely smile.

  18. JM says:

    Oh I see, judging by those faces, foreigners are now welcome to come on board.

    Maybe someone should ask them if they approve of appearing in FKNK’s campaign –

  19. Pied Piper says:

    I shall fly from Hamlin and rally the rats to assist them in their noble campaign; will not ask for gold bars.

  20. RoyB says:

    Well there’s a faithful representation of the Maltese gene pool if ever there was one.

  21. Albert Bonnici says:

    Waste of time as far as I am concerned. Will be voting NO for spring hunting

  22. one of us says:

    Are any of the volunteers in that photo Maltese?

  23. av says:

    I can really imagine all those beautiful people sitting in their ‘dura’ ready to pull the trigger. I’m sure they would all go insane if hunting is not allowed in spring.

  24. ajeje says:

    A group photo of your typical hunters’ stock.

  25. James Baldacchino says:

    “Kull ghajnuna tghin” … So deep, so philosophical. I’m touched.

  26. dutchie says:

    How bloody lazy. So they ripped out a picture from Translators USA for their campaign. I wonder what Translators USA have to say about this?

    http://www.translatorsusa.net/website.html.

    I have let them know about this.

    [Daphne – Thank you. I’ve uploaded a post about it.]

  27. NGT says:

    And an indirect approach for support – no doubt many people will fall for this. http://www.firstmalta.com/fireworks.htm

  28. etil says:

    It would be great were the FKNK decide to stop spring hunting of their own volition. You know, sort of give something to the people in return, making a sacrifice and all that.

    It is, after all, only for a few months.

    Why do I keep on dreaming that people will be less selfish and think of others for a change.

  29. Pippa says:

    What strikes me as very odd is the fact that there’s not even one gun in sight. They look as if they’re all going for a tennis session. If they really believe they’re in the right, each of them should be carrying a gun.

    • etil says:

      Good point. What about the people in the picture – they nearly all look Swedish although the other guy could be of Swedish nationality.

  30. Alexander Ball says:

    Why is the black bloke smiling? Doesn’t he know he’s about to get lynched?

  31. chico says:

    Are these the sort of people out in the hides at 4am in spring?

    Must look for my old thermos and brush up some of my rusty chat-up lines.

  32. Be-witched says:

    Never. They’ve got Joseph and Simon’s support – that should suffice.

  33. Mr Meritocracy says:

    Would love to give them a helping hand.

    To sabotage their campaign, of course.

  34. Vince Aquilina says:

    Picture is taken from http://www.usacontactpoint.com/whoworkshere.asp

    Sorry, I cannot upload the original image. It is IDENTICAL but with a blue/white background with the message:

  35. J. Borg says:

    Shouldn’t they all have guns slung over their shoulders?
