Stop cruel hunting of birds with glue traps

[Guest guest]

"The Catalan [spain] 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 “barracas”, 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.Please sign up in the campaign against this legalization and send this mail to interested people.Our birds are your birds.
