Storms brought exhausted migratory birds to Malta. Instead of finding refuge, many were shot.
People reports on the killing of protected birds and the urgent need for stronger protection.

Rescued from unimaginable cruelty in Lebanon, this #kestrel had her eyes sewn shut by a falcon trapper to serve as a live decoy for >6 weeks.
Thanks to our anti-poaching team and vet care, she’s healed and back in the open sky where she belongs!

Migratory birds arrived in Malta seeking shelter from the storms, only to face illegal hunting.
@BirdLifeEurope raises the alarm over the massive killing of protected birds in Malta.
Our migratory birds need stronger protection, not weaker laws.
