Your question shows that you haven't a clue about ecology or biology or wildlfie management. With ambelopoulia trapping gone there is no motive to keep their habitat in Cyprus intact. That is why buildings are mushrooming around Paralimini, Protaras, and surrouounding villages.
So Pax, do you think that with concrete instead of acacia plantations there is now more or less ambelopoulia? What does the annual bird count in Bird Life say?
And what is wrong with Cyprus hunting seasons? They are the shortest in Europe and well within the ambit of the 409/79 Birds Directive. So why do you get a bug up your ass over this?
But guys like you do not really care about wildllife. You are just a moral high grounder who wants to feel good inside by fooling himself that he has done something good. It is a kind of masturbation that justifies the term malakas.

You're response Nikitas is that of an offensive little schmuck.
The fact is I read an article about Malta and bird hunting and EU directives which I wondered whether it was relevant to Cyprus, especially because both Cyprus and Malta joined the EU at the same time and bird hunting has been an important tradition for both.
For some unknown reason you get up on your high horse and let both barrels go at me. What's wrong with Cyprus hunting seasons ? I didn't say anything was wrong with them. Ecology - I asked a question, no more than that. Moral high-grounder - I asked a poll question whether EU directives should be complied with. The least you can do is apologise, or if not - which I don't expect, then fuck you. If you've already crawled into the moral gutter then everyone else, Nikitas, will indeed seem to be occupying the moral high ground.
