Champions in bird trapping are not only the Cypriots - The "competitors"

An issue of independent.ie deals with the issue of illegal trapping of vine birds in Europe, explaining that it is not only Cyprus that is in this big business.

He initially reports that millions of vines are trapped in nets and killed in Cyprus. The BirdLife organization estimates that Cyprus is one of the worst regions in the world in terms of bird trapping, in which one to three million birds are killed each year.

However, according to the report, there are other such places, such as Italy, where about 5,6 million birds are trapped and killed.

French bird lovers are getting the most attention by "snacking" on half a million chewing gums that are lured by red berry baits and then strangled with horse hair loops - a trapping activity in the Ardennes near the Belgian border.
