5.0 out of 5 stars Well written book about an interesting subject, February 25, 2003

This review is from: Fatal Flight: The Maltese Obsession With Killing Birds (Paperback)

The book is extremely well written with very good narrative and very good command of English. Anyone who is interested in hunting and conservation should read this book. Many hunters, including one reviewer, did not like the book because it has exposed their practices. I have visited Malta many times and witnessed the uncontrolled shooting of birds which is described so well in this book.
The author is evidently an authority in the subject and knows well what he is writing about. The book is well illustrated and all arguments in it are backed with evidence. No wonder the book has a series of reccomendations by Farley Mowat, Greenpeace, the RSPB as well as the British Game Conservancy, a hunters' orgainisation.
A great book by someone who had the guts to expose what goes on in the name of hunting. If there were more people like the author, the world would be a better place to live in.

I would only add, that if it were only hunting of birds by the Maltese, I would not be opposed. How many people in Malta-at least La Valetta- did I see who kept large quantities of birds emprisoned in cages. No, the maltese are not the only ones to do this...but per capita they do it more than any other population.
