baw 4,360 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I don't agree with killing BOP for the sake of a few poxy pheasants that some lard arsed shotters going to maim anyway. Any keeper caught killing them should be jailed IMO.So a man killing a bop should go to jail trying to protect his livelihood. I suppose a man running a hare should face the same then...surely that's worse as it's just for fun?? no lab, he should not go to jail, but his boss who pay his wages, + for a house,motor should have in (enough birds )or poults in the 1st place, to cover losses from all kinds of predators 4 legs+ feather . fact . in a nutshell there should have more than enough bird there, they know the law on there side regards 4 legged vermin to control, so both the keeper+boss have+are not doing there jobs proper when they loose birds to any kind of predator mammal or bird , if they not got enough birds there to cover losses :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

See the next time you go to Asdas and buy a loaf of bread, buy yourself another 6 loafs and hand them round the local thiefs just incase they steal them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lab 10,979 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Actually bird I've read your post again and I'm trying not to laugh. Could you tell me how the best keeper in the world could stop poult kills by bops with legal methods. I'm sure there's lots of lads on here that would love to know how it's done....cheers lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 It can't be lab, neither can you stop them getting run over. I'd assume loss is part and parcel to the industry and is therefore covered by having more to balance it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I don't see how game keepers are surprised BOP take pheasants, your putting a tame bird into the wild, what do you expect to happen release a 1000 budgies, see how many survive and start killing everything that takes them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STRANGER 948 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 What about wild bird keepers (grouse, grey partridge etc) are they just to accept the losses and the fact they cannot produce a viable shooting population and therefor will be out of a job? What about the small time farmers whos loss of 10 or more lambs can mean the difference between farming and not farming? what about populations of wild birds who suffer greatly from predation (not necessarily just game birds) brought on by the fact there are too many raptors such as Black Grouse, ptarmigan etc? I don't condone shooting BOP, just find peoples opinions interesting. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think paulus kind of ended the argument with that link he put up. Man f***ing about with the balance of nature rarely works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
