| Abstract: | Whether bird shooting and trapping are traditions and whether they can be justified, are two different questions. For an activity to be accepted, it does not have to be traditional. On the other hand, traditional activities may become unacceptable as the values of society change. Even so, one has to establish whether what some people call 'traditional' is in fact traditional. A cursory glance through Malta's history is sufficient to show that the claim that hunting is a traditional sport is unfounded. Any hunting or trapping which may have taken place was for food, not for sport. |
