Following on from the publication of the RSPB’s latest report on the illegal killing of birds of prey in the UK (Patterns of Persecution, published last week), the BBC has released an eight minute film documenting the issue.
The BBC’s Climate Editor, Justin Rowlatt, joined members of the RSPB’s Investigations team in the field and in the office.
The RSPB repeats its calls for a licensing system for gamebird shooting, whilst Dr Marnie Lovejoy from BASC argues against it because, er, ‘it’s all so unfair’ (I’m paraphrasing, of course).
