Explanation:
from sheer intuition or common sense, I would avoid Λαθραίο, because of course illegal hunting is prohibited. I'd rather go looking for something relative to hunting with "fake" animals... Sorry no time to look further!

For what this thought is worth: Pantima could be a παραποίηση της λέξης Pandemic... epidemic. Hunting by spreading an epidemy of some sort... Don\'t laugh at me... why not, in this darkness?

Η μόνη λύση μου φαίνεται είναι να το αφήσεις ως έχει

\"Η μέθοδος (κυνηγιού) η οποία είναι ευρύτερα γνωστή ως \"pantima\" απαγορεύεται.\"
