Two hunters were found guilty of threatening a volunteer of the Committee Against Bird Slaughter last September, BirdLife Malta said.
The hunters, Joseph and Jimmy Muscat, were found guilty of threatening 26-year-old Fiona Burrows and breaching the peace at Miżieb woodland as she looked for remains of dead birds. The two men were conditionally discharged for 18 months and ordered not to approach Ms Burrows, BirdLife said.
