FFS😡 Are the estates taking the piss. I so hope there will be a prosecution but chances are negligible. #RaptorPersecution

@Christownsendoutdoors Thank f*ck one that a prosecution has stuck on one of these nasty shits. They usually get off due to lack of evidence. But an £800 fine? I bet his Xmas bonus is way bigger. #RaptorPersecution
Disappointingly low fine, £1215, for killing a buzzard. As the RSPB says in the video description, game bird shoots should be licensed, and the estate should lose its licence for activities like this. #Birds #Raptor #RaptorPersecution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeEsj01fYDg

Caught up on a fascinating episode of Rare Earth while knitting before work this morning, about birds of prey - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0024x4b

Well worth a listen, though they could’ve more robustly challenged the shooter’s “right of reply” bit throwing out whataboutery that felt reminiscent of climate denial.

#Environment; muirburn contributes to #climate breakdown and drainage leads to flooding and erosion. Wildlife; the wholesale extermination of predators has a disastrous impact on the #ecology of these areas and the criminal practice of #RaptorPersecution has taken place. We believe it's time to provide an opportunity to implement immediate and meaningful measures to address what we see as an abhorrently destructive practice so that recovery of #moorlands can progress.
