It gave him the perfect opportunity to ‘run with the fox and hunt with the hounds,’ if I may use that expression.

What about the other REPORTED illegalities that happened since the opening of this year’s hunting season?

In view of the “sharp decline in illegalities”, how many turtle-doves must fall before spring hunting is forever banned?

And as to why the word given, was broken on day one.

They know no shame.

Seems like nothing has changed.

I’ve never been able to understand how hunting in such close proximity to residents, not to mention a school, could ever be legal.

Shall I place another bet that the only year he will decide as ‘flagrant’ will be election year?

To try and appease the Astrids and Martin Sciclunas of this world, who will probably be gullible enough to believe him.
