Like the way most things are done these days I'm afraid.
Report them then they are looking up to 5 years imprisonment. The reason I ask there has been many malious untrue claims about some falconers which in fact have vastly untrue leading to counter law suits and prosecutions. The reason I brought it up, the hung draw and quarter mob seem to join the side of the "righteous" with out a clue of the subject matter. Yes they will be some that gain BOP illegally, some people might drink and drive others may abuse their children and pets. But most falconers are law abiding members of society.
