Being hunters, they noted, they are the biggest environmentalists
Excuse me, but I am recovering from a fit of apoplexy after learning how the great hunting community is really the largest environmentalist movement in Cyprus.
These nature lovers, besides being environmentalists, become twice-weekly noise generators, sometimes disturbing ones slumber. They then decorate the hills around us with masses of spent cartridges and, worse, hundreds, if not thousands, of kilograms of small metallic particles for birds from tiny sparrows to massive flamingos to ingest. And then, each pull of the trigger releases large volumes of carbon dioxide and, worse, nitrogen oxides to breathe in, similarly to the gases from their pickups that they use to take them to their field of bird carnage.
