lang=EN-GB><BR></SPAN></B><SPAN lang=EN-GB>French (and Spanish) hunters and
trappers have ‘Carte blanche’ to hunt and eat declining protected bird species.
A particularly crass example of this is the trapping and killing of hundreds of
thousands of lapwings (<I>Vanellus vanellus</I>). This species is gradually
disappearing from many farmland and wetland habitats in Europe. The
‘traditional’ practice of laying out pond complexes with huge clap nets to trap
Lapwings, Golden Plover (<I>Pluvialis apricaria</I>) and other wader species is
permitted by the French Ecology Ministry and tolerated by the European
Commission.</SPAN></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>It is time that this scandalous practice
was put a stop to. For more information, including a CABS video clip of lapwing
trapping in France and a link to a Proact campaigns protest Email, please
