Help stop hunting of birds with glue
September 23, 2007
DO YOU WANT TO SEE THEM LIKE THAT ?
The Catalan Government is trying to legalize hunting birds with glue, through a new regulation.
This cruel method is specifically banned by the European laws because is also massive, non-selective and impossible to control properly.
In the name of “tradition” the hunters use electronic appeals and hundreds of thousands of thrush migrating from northern Europe, and about 30% of protected birds, are attracted to glued trees, in closed “barracasâ€, and killed in the Ebro area between October and November.
In the same law-project the Catalan government is also trying to legalize a kind of net-trap hunting called “filat”, which consist in trapping the thirsty birds attracted by small water pools, also forbidden in Spain, non-selective and impossible to control.
The protection of the nature performs all over new attitudes, but our government “of progress and ecologist†is of looking to a past of survival hunting that destroys protected species.
lease sign up in the campaign against this legalization and send this mail to interested people.
Our birds are your birds.
