You might/should be interested in signing this petition. It only takes a minute.

Avaaz are an international organisation that seem to get results on this sort of thing.

Signed, I've been supporting BirdlifeMalta for years, it's an uphill battle to say the least. As for visiting Malta, never in a million years!.

Done. The only way to stop the so and so's is to hit them in the pocket. Boycott the country. How do they get away with it when we can't even throw terrorists out of our own country? >:(

No problem Keith, Thanks to yourself and the others who have made the effort to sign the petition. It may make no difference but we can only try.

Cheers
