As HRH Prince Charles & HRH Prince William prepare to host an international summit on tackling wildlife crime, Channel 4 News will take a closer look at crimes against wildlife in the UK, with a particular focus on the illegal persecution of golden eagles on Scottish moors managed for driven grouse shooting.
We’re expecting film footage from the Angus Glens, a notorious raptor persecution hotspot (e.g. see here) and interviews with several key players.
Channel 4 News, tonight at 7-8pm.

Is that the same guy who allegedly shot the Hen Harrier (with his brother) at their nana’s estate in Norfolk a few ago?
Don’t think William was ever implicated:

Is the Duke of Westminster and his Forest of Bowland ‘staff’ attending the summit I wonder.
Hope they are asked for their opinion on vicarious liability and why they think the law society has rejected moves for it to be introduced in england and wales
