Because its a topic I have a great interest in. These people give us a bad name and I think we could do more to exert peer pressure from within our community. By posting these stories, I aim to raise awareness amongst those of us who are abhorred by the actions of a few selfish and ignorant idiots, just as a starting place. If we can't/or are unwilling to put our own house in order, then we can't complain when external groups highlight our sport's dark side.

That maybe so to highlight the bad apples but like any intrest in hunting you will always get the bad ones.It boils down to money and greed again.atb

With your great interest in convictions can you throw some light on the fact that the RSPB no longer seem to be leading the show, in fact they do not seem to get a mention nowadays.

Beggers belief when you can obtain these birds that are bred by breeders so easily why the hell would you go for a haggard or passage bird ?
