Hunters fined for using bird sound machines

The Game Service on Wednesday fined two hunters €500 each after they were caught in Paphos with bird sound machines.

The two men were caught hunting in the morning at two locations in Paphos with the use of bird sound devices. The first one was caught at 8.30am in the Rimia area, near Lysos, and the second one 30 minutes later at Vretsia.

The pair were taken to the nearest police stations where they were fined.

It follows the arrest of two other hunters a few days ago at Panayia and Polis who were also using bird sound devices. They too were fined €500 each.

 

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
