The government has condemned a vandal attack on a car in Gozo belonging to an official of the Wild Birds Regulation Unit’s specialist enforcement branch.

The official discovered damage to his car, parked near Ta’ Pinu church, when he returned from field monitoring duties at a bird sanctuary.

Animal Rights Parliamentary Secretary Roderick Galdes condemned the incident as an attempt at harassment and intimidation and said anyone found guilty would face “the full brunt of the law”.

Hunters’ association St Hubert Hunters also unreservedly condemned the vandalism, hoping they would be caught and given the maximum penalty at law. The Gozo police are investigating.
