Unfortunately this is to do with my beloved Island of Cyprus.
PSEUDO CONNOISSEURS WHO EAT LITTLE SONG BIRDS.
A practice that has become synonymous with grilled halloumi , a cruel and unnecessary practice that provides a few grams of meat seen by PCs as a culinary delight, Archidia to that. Birds such as ambelopoulia ought to be seen and not be trapped, netted or shot in order to satisfy the many who consider their meat as superb !!
Nature belongs to all living things , these birds are so beautiful to see, hardly seen any for years. What's wrong with wild mushrooms, ameledita, karaolous and so much other delicasies.
Some years back I witnessed a disgusting culinary cultural practice, I wont go into it other than say monkeys have feelings too !
So I appeal to you all, protect these birds, refuse to indulge in a few grams of meat, try archidhia they are delicious grilled
I bring this particular Pet Hate to the forum again with my apologies if it offends some forumers.
I had an email this morning from a team member of a group of Europeans, professional and dedicated individuals actively involved in the process of eradicating this " cultural" and unpleasant practice, the trapping of birds.
I'm awaiting for permission from one member giving me authority to highlight a rather unpleasant event that occurred recently, a blatant affront to their efforts to tackle this practice. Are we a civilized nation or a lawless entity, in the words of Bananiot, a "Banana Republic".
My love for Cyprus is beyond question, my intense dismay at this practice is also well known.
I care for my island, I will confront acts that bring about a stigma on our island. Not interested if such events also take place in other countries. Paedophilia exists in most countries, it does not mean that if such activity existed or occurred in Cyprus I would defend it by equating this vile practice with other vile acts occurring elsewhere. This is the Cyprus Forum, dealing with what goes on in Cyprus.
