Ornis recommends a 3-week spring hunting season

Ministry for the environment to study recommendation of the Ornis Committee, suggesting spring hunting should open on 10 April and close on 30 April.

The Ornis committee has recommended a three-week spring hunting season. The Ministry for the Environment will evaluate this recommendation and will announce the official dates in the coming days.

The Ornis Committee, the body which issues recommendations to the government on opening the hunting season, met today for the first time after the government approved its setup.

Yesterday, government announced that ecologist and former MEPA board member Louis Cassar has been appointed as chairman of the committee.

The Ornis committee has suggested that the spring hunting opens on Wednesday 10 April until Tuesday 30 April.

Last year, the PN government had opened the spring hunting season for quails and turtledoves on 12 April and closed on 30 April.

Now we can say we are going backwards.Malta is too small for 10,000 hunters ,so definitely there is no space for the birds watchers and for sight seeing .Lets hope that there will be law enforcers among the hunters to help them not to shoot protected birds.
