I came across this article in the Shooting Times in another forum. It has listed some of our most endangered birds that they class as pests to their industry of shooting.
Thankfully they have been condemned by all the wildlife bodies but even if they retract this story (which by the way I think they have now after pressure by the RSPB) I think that the damage has already been done.
I just hope that the likes of the magnificent Golden Eagle, Hen Harrier etc do not suffer because of this article.
Have a read and put your comments to this thread.
