Another one…
It must be nesting season.
Clearly those taking such good care of our shooting estates are above the law.
After all it would not be on not t be allowed to maximise profits from shooting.
We see this again and again…
It has been heard for the officers of the law to be invited onto the shoots.
Just a rumour!
Am I wrong or are public employees, in particular the police, not banned from taking gifts ?
I suppose they are entitled to partake in pastimes of their choice……
Natural England have opened Pandora’s Box by agiving a licence to that bloke in Northumberland
Agreed. If there has been a real spike in Buzzard killings it should show in the stats.
As ever, begging the question how many have been shot and not found?
