Please save our
migratory birds
Chris Tynan:
What is the point of RSPB providing sites for all UK migration birds to breed
for the young to be killed off. Cheers Chris
Laura Bimo : It’s not the first time I’ve I asked you to
sign a petition against this barbaric behaviour. It’s sickening, every time I
look at my photo’s of the wonderful Golden orioles we saw in Hungary, It
make’s me think of the fate of their kin - on some mindless individuals
dinner plate.
Please share this
message with all your bird group's members and everyone you
know, to end the massive slaughter of songbirds in Egypt.
More than 400 MILES of nets are used to catch them during
the Fall Migration to be sold as delicacies to restaurants!

still a few days left to

From NABU:
"Dear friends of our birds, Thanks a lot for your
great support for our fight against the massive bird slaughter in Egypt!
"Today I want to let you know that our common
efforts are already bearing fruits: The German ministry of environment has
reacted immediately and demanded an end to the trapping of migratory birds from
the government of Egypt. It has also provided 20,000 Euro for urgent activities
in the fight against the bird slaughter in Egypt. This money
we are using to organize an international meeting
including representatives of the Egyptian ministry of environment to develop an
action plan aimed at ending the bird trapping.
"Since October this year, my organization NABU, is
already employing an expert in Egypt who is preparing this plan and will
coordinate its implementation.
"There is also hope on a higher political level: The
new Egyptian environment minister, Dr Laila Iskandar, recently promised to the
ambassador of Switzerland in Kairo, to attend to this matter. Currently an
internal working group is being set up in her ministry, whose task it is to
stop the bird slaughter.
"I have asked the Egyptian ambassador in Berlin for
a meeting to hand him the petition. The meeting is going to take place probably
in the end of November / beginning of December. All signatures we will receive until
then are going to be counted out and handed over.
"Therefore, there are some more days remaining to
collect further signatures. So far, we are
75,000. Let s make it 100,000! Please help us, spread this petition again.
Please advise all your friends and relatives to this
petition by sharing the following link on Facebook or via e-mail:

Merchants sell both live and dead birds at specialty
markets in towns along the coast. When customers purchase them live, the
merchants kill and pluck them on the spot.
