All animals should be respected; and not simply because they sing sweetly.

Oh for fucks sake, not the animal crowd again!

do you guys ever protest about sardine or anchovy fishing? What is the fucking difference between a bird and a sardine? Probably the latter does not attract good funding.

The next thing we need to hear is that ridiculous slogan "rats have rights" and that will make my day.

Dogs at a far eastern butcher shop I guess.

If these birds are so bloody rare how come thousands of them stumble into lime sticks? Some lying scumbag blogs put the number caught up to a million. What kind of rare species is this bloddy bird that can sustain an annual harvest of one million?

Find a cause and plug in. A typical ploy of would be animal, soul, eco savers who want to think for us before us.

The birds on on the migratory route to and from Africa. Cyprus is well placed for these small creatures to get a drop of (rare) water and a few days rest before they continue their journey south/north. Thats why the lime sticks are placed near waterholes. Once they reach the intended continent they will spread out like a fan - whats let of them.

It is claimed they have black-caps in the UK; but I have only seen them on the tv.

European Bird Populations Estimates and Trends- published by the European Bird Census Council and Birdlife International says of the black cap:

Total- 17 000 000 to 42 000 000. In most reporting countries it is stable, in a few increasing, and it is decreasing only Albania, moderately.

So let us enjoy this bloody bird, and eat a few while it passes through those orchards specially planted for catching them. Because if there is no more catching those orchards are soon going to be turned over to "developers" and then there will be one more country reporting a decrease in their population.

NOw to get back to anchovies and sardines, they are definitely decresing according to EU fisheries people, butere is not ONE SINGLE organiztion protesting sardine killing. Let us cut out this idiotic distinction between the cuddly ones and the slimy ones.
