Campaign against the trade in deep frozen sparrows in Italy

Frozen en bloc - Spanish Sparrows from TunisiaIn autumn 2008 the attention of a CABS team was drawn to a butcher’s shop near Lake Iseo that displayed a poster in the window offering song birds for sale. An Italian team member played the part of an interested customer, bought 15 deep frozen birds as evidence, and informed the police. The nest day the police searched the shop premises.
