The two hunters photographed inside the Ghadira nature reserve's buffer zone.
Following the government's decision at the start of the week to draft in Armed Forces of Malta soldiers to reinforce the police against the onslaught of illegal hunting and trapping during the first two weeks of the season, two men were again photographed hunting inside a protected area on Thursday.
This time the two hunters were seen hunting inside the Ghadira Nature Reserve protected zone, a buffer zone around the protected wetland reserve which extends the bird sanctuary to prevent hunters from targeting birds around the reserve.
The incident was reported to the police's Administrative Law Enforcement unit and the location of the last whereabouts of the two men was pointed out. ALE officers went to search for the men, but it is not known whether they were apprehended.

Apprehended? Thought BLM stated they did not know they were apprehended.
How convenient of BLM, a picture which could have been taken anywhere, and at any time, an allegation and nothing but this unsubstantiated picture which glaringly proves their deceit.
alspiteri, this bastard wishes you all the best all the time up where the sun don't shine. I always believe that the scum of this earth crawl out of hiding places if only to put our minds at rest that scum still exists.
This particular proud bastard hopes you had as decent an upbringing as this bastard had. Though I seriously doubt it. You seem to have the term bastard too much on your mind and then much too often. Guess it must be that constant inner pain nagging at you.
Best wishes once more, and oh do keep it in there long enough till it no longer pleases and starts to hurt.

"it is not known whether they were apprehended."
The title says they were.

But what in the name of all that's decent do these bloody bastards think they are!? I'm not a hunter, never has been and bear no symptathy for these loafers. BUT I was totally against having CABS coming over and telling us how to run our affairs!! NOW I'M NOT SO SURE ANY MORE! I'm starting to revert back to how I felt some 20 years ago: HUNTING IS A BASTARDS' HOBBY FOR DIRTY BASTARDS AND IT SHOULD BE STOPPED FOR EVER!!!
