Illegal trapping reported in Gozo

Tourists holidaying in Gozo were shocked to see what they called "rampant illegal trapping" going on in several parts of the island, including Ras il-Wardija and Harrax Hill.

MaltaToday is informed that reports were also made to the police in Gozo yesterday after at least four active trappers were spotted at Ras il-Wardija.

Another three trapping sites were also set up and birds could be heard above the plateau.

Tourists who spoke to MaltaToday expressed their "shock" at having seen the illegal trapping taking place "so openly and in such numbers in a small area".
