Between September 10 and November 25, the Committee Against Bird Slaughter (CABS), working with Cypriot Police and Game Wardens, conducted 75 joint operations that resulted in 55 convictions and over €239,770 in fines issued. Our teams seized 1,547 limesticks and 137 mist-nets, and rescued 1,286 live protected birds, saving countless more as a direct result of our actions. Crucially, the operations included major raids initiated after CABS, together with broadcasters Chris Packham and Megan McCubbin, exposed the industrial-scale trapping through the 'Operation Dead Air' campaign, leading to major fines against notorious trapping gangs and sending a strong message that no one is above the law!
