Between 12th and 19th March 2014, CABS and BirdLife Malta monitored illegal finch trapping in Malta and Gozo. They found the countryside full of illegal trapping sites and observed and recorded at least 15 poachers in the act of illegal songbird trapping.
But despite recording video and photo evidence and reporting incidents to the Maltese authorities, police only apprehended two suspects and on several occasions failed to confiscate nets and live caged birds being used for illegal trapping.
