Hello all, 

I apologize for any double posting.  I got this via private email, and I do 
not know if it has been on any other lists.  I figured some of you may be 
interested in reading and/or acting upon this.

 No doubt you're aware of the virulent opposition of French "hunters" to any
 limits whatsover on their "right" to shoot any old bird they want any old 
time
 they want.......and even a "secret" trip by a recent Prime Minister to be the
 guest at a feast composed of migratory songbirds.   Last time I was in 
Paris, I
 was on an elevated metro line, and heard a lot of gunfire.  On a street 
below I
 saw a Sunday afternoon parade of birdgunners from all over France marching to
 protest the action of Parliament in passing national legislation to bring 
France
 conformity with EU laws and regulations on this matter......and the durned
 parliament, in July 1998 (ut infra) did in fact pass a law allowing the 
taking
 of endangered species!   Where is Madame Defarge when we need her?
 
 You may wish to visit the website indicated at the end of this message, to
 "sign" the petition itself, and then to pass it on to other birders......
 
 English instructions are provided for the linguistically impaired.....   ;^b
 
 et, finallement, j'espere que t'passe un bon jour civique!

 LPO-FNE-BirdLife : Petition for a better protection of migratory birds.
 Date inscription : 10/10/1998
 Under the pressure of the French hunting lobby, the French parliamenthas 
adopted
 the 3 july 1998 law that gives on all of the nationalterritory a period to 
hunt
 migratory birds far too long and not compatible with the biology of the 
birds.
 These same lobby wish to modify the 1979 European directive on the 
conservation
 of wild birds during their nesting and pre-nuptial migratory seasons. It asks
 for"freedom to hunt" between july and february!  This is why France Nature
 Environnement, the Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux, Birdlife 
International
 and their partners ask:- the european parliament, given the articles 8D and 
138D
 of the UnionTreaty, not to modify the bird directive;- and the French 
government
 to abrogate the 3 july 1998 law, and to forbid hunting of species with a poor
 conservation state in Europe. By my signature, I support this petition 
because
 the migratory birds are an international natural richness that does not 
belong
 to any country,or to any category of users, and that deserves an increased
 protection.
 Then follows a list of sentences mentioning that your name and addresses will
 not be used except for this petition, that you accept your name and address
