    It is ridiculous that this is allowed to continue and also that the Cypriot government does pretty much nothing to sanction restaurants selling the dish of ambelopoulia, this practice has been outlawed since 1974.

    That is awful! I am disgusted!

    Is there a petition organised to go to Sec of State for Defence?

    Certainly should be!

    I think that's already been done, but also Europe need to apply pressure, it is ludicrous that millions of songbirds and other protected birds are killed in Cyprus every year, then millions more in other countries, including France and Malta.
