SportingShooter 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 As I drove to work this morning, Radio 4 on as usual, the national news came on. I listened to rest of the usual political infighting and then I heard a report from the RSPB. The RSPB are calling for an end to birds of prey being killed on grouse moors in Northern England and Southern Scotland, They publicly singled out gamekeepers as protecting their own interests. No other cause was mentioned or even another possible cause, I have been reading about this in the shooting magazines over the last months and as yet I am unaware of anymore than one conviction and yet all the blame goes to gamekeepers. As a gamekeeper myself, I was furious when I heard it, Does anyone else on here know of other convictions or are you also annoyed like me that they are singling out one group as, in their minds, the only possible cause.

SportingShooter 0 Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Check This out. Looks like full on mobilisation by the Anti's again. I would love to be there to shout them into the ground. This is exactly what we need to be doing, get as many people as possible to turn up to give the anti's a show of just how many people are physically in their way. This will undoubtedly go the way of group with the most representatives, we should not be the ones left out, it directly affects me and others everyday. Come on people.
