NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - A Cyprus wildlife group expressed anger Monday that poachers of endangered falcons had been spared a prison sentence by a British-administered court.
The court on a British Sovereign Base Area fined two men ¤1,250 (US$1,885) each over their involvement in the October, 2007 killing of 52 endangered Red Footed Falcons. |

"The government sets different dates for crow shooting every year, sometimes late April, sometimes late June ... it is nothing suspicious," said Pantelis Hadjiyerou, head of the island's Game Service.
"The hunters, as should always be the case, have to abide by the law. Any hunter falling out of line and who is caught by the Game Service will be charged." |
