Are such threats necessary in a civilised forum?

Rather an extreme overreaction don't you think Zan?

Any chance of focusing on resolving the threat from sickos (like you :? ) to our indigenous wildlife?

A tchnical aside, a shotgun cannot kill a donkey. In Cyprus only shotguns are allowed. So how are the donkeys shot? By whom?

One assumes the same as you do with blackbirds and thrushes.......
As you point out only shotguns are allowed in Cyprus so if they are being shot with these then they have a lingering death.. :cry:

.... is this true in the occupied part of the island? ...... or does anything go there? ... they must have an awful lot of weapons around, what with over 40,000 well-armed Turkish soldiers (getting bored :? ) ....

and on the ROC side we have about the same number of well armed registered hunters......

Are hunters scrupulously registered in the occupied north also?

If so, how many more does that add to the presently armed 40,000?

Now remind who it was that was making us aware of what is happening to the turtles in the South....I think there is an issue with cats,dogs and birds, most of which is happening illegally.....Now how civilised this licensed South is :roll: :roll:

When I was in England and hunted there, an asshole from a neighboring farm, he was neither TC nor GC, so no assinine comments about this aspect please, used to shoot at cows for fun. A cow has a hide about equal to a donkey's in thickness. It might surprise some to learn that no harm came to the cows from being shot at. They just jumped a little and moved away a few steps and they went back to grazing. The act was shocking to me and my friends se we called the cops. They could not do anything against him, since he owned the cows and we were not considered reliable witntesses.

Anyway back to donkeys. It will take an awful lot of cartridges and determination to kill a donkey with a shotgun. Someone is using a rifle or special shotgun ammo is doing it, if the story is true, which I doubt. And there must be a reason to do it, this "for fun" idea does not hold water.

Yes there are shotguns in North Cyprus, and many other military weapon required to keep EOKA fasists like yourself tame Mr O.

I believe in Capital puishment. Any TC that kills our donkeys without justification ( I see no justification) should be sent to the South to live amongst people like O. Then they may learn to appreciate our donkeys a little more.

A shotgun shell with a single ball bearing inside can kill a donkey from 100 yards.

Killing the donkeys is disgusting, BUT are they encroaching on farmers lands? The karpas is mostly uncultivated nature reserve. If the donkeys need culling then this should be done humanely or the donkeys moved elsewhere where they cause no damage.

I also read with great sadness a little while ago that hunters shot and almost wiped out a colony of fruit bats in their cave - while they were sleeping where was that? OH YES the civilised SOUTH :evil:

Also Cyprus (south) has the largest ownership of guns per head of population than any other EU country!!! 36 firearms per 100 people!!! :roll:
