A sorry state of affairs when beautiful birds such as those in the report are shot at or poisoned. The perpetrators of such acts should be sentenced very heavily and never be allowed back in the area, ever. A 10 year stretch might get them thinking.

It's bad this going on anywhere, but in one of our National Parks as well. The Derwent Valley and the surrounding moorlands is a classic 'honeypot' area, I mean really well used. The audacity and boldness of the numbskulls involved I find staggering.

This is distressingly disturbing news, that people to this day continue to persecute these magnificent Raptors & I believe nothing can be done about it as these people seem to be above the law..
It's like the large estate in Dumfriesshire that is totally devoid of any Raptors, but the surrounding area has very healthy populations.. I often think some of these landowners are a law unto themselves  |

Who's going round filling potatoes with Metaldehyde to poison Badgers?  |

oh how I'd like to catch someone in the act...
as kids we used to go out and destroy all the traps we could find, breaking them and hanging them up in the location they were set, sometimes even setting simple trip wires for the person who originally set it to help dissuade them from continuing using such awful methods.
(i should add this was on private land where a walker would never have been caught out by the trip wire)
Notice with photo's of whats happening in the local area (including in the towns etc possibly with note of a reward) might be a way to make it less attractive to the perpatrators? | | |
