[stripee]

Only Welsh BBC1 at present, at 10.45pm. It may turn up on digital later. 1st prog about Badger baiting.

[Dogghound]

Very interesing program its on iplayer now. The kind of scum on it really P*** me off.

[galanthus]

May have to give this a miss as I know I'll get very angry and blood pressure will blow Is he wearing his shorts and boots

[stripee]

Alas he is wearing trousers, probably too cold An unpleasant watch. But interesting. These people are of small brain. The next prog will have more about the egg collectors

[Hedge Witch]

Thanks for the info. stripee.

I'll try and watch them, though like galanthus, I may get a very angry

It'll be an education and should stop me being so naive about these matters

As I think I said in another thread, I never knew egg collectors still existed. I thought people had more oeoeoeoe sense than to provide a market for these oeoeoeoes. Silly me.

[Vectisbirder]

I can't watch that sort of thing as, like Galanthus and Hedge Witch, I get very angry and want to do something violent to the scum featured.

Hi Dogghound, I agree compeletely with you! When I worked at my local reserve I had a chap cross examining me about Peregrines, did we have any? Where were they nesting if we did, did the warden live on the premises? Yep, alarm bells were ringing in my ears. I don't know why, but before he even spoke to me I had a bad feeling re this man, his body language just wasn't quite right. No, I didn't give him any information and warned others not to either. If something feels like it's not quite right, then it probably isn't!

I know I find these programmes hard to watch, but if it raises public awareness of what these despicable s*ds are doing then it can only be a good thing. Sorry, to rant, but like you it just makes my blood boil.

Just watched it, to see those two guy's caught for Badger baiting get no more than a slapped wrist was a disgrace
These type of people should be dumped on a island with no food or drink & left to die
If i ever saw anyone like this i would put them 6ft under with the Badgers

Makes me feel very sad that peeps can even think of doing this kind of thing. I honestly wish we could put them somewhere on an island to starve to death

[Phoebe]

I agree, Badger baiting is so cruel and living in the countryside I know it must be going on. It sickens me at the thought. Disgusting primitive people with nothing better to do. I cannot watch that sort of programme but agree that it brings it into the public eye.

[welsh.lensman]

I did start to watch this programme, but like others on here, had to switch it off, the crualty inflicted on those unfortunate animals was more than I could stomach.
I'm in complete agreement with deer boy, the people (if you can call them that) who perpetrate these outrageous acts in the name of sport should be punished more severely than they are at presant, bring back the birch I say.
