Default Golden eagle killed

We are dismayed at the sickening news that a dead golden eagle discovered in west Scotland had been poisoned.

I don't know whats wrong with these people , I know what I would like to do to them though. It makes me very angry when incidents like this happen and the ones that are reported are only the tip of the iceberg how many must go unnoticed?

Because they know they can get away with it...because they like having power over the environment - its a macho thing .....and because "theyve always done it"....oh yes and because they think the Law doesnt apply to them [they know better than the rest of us].

How do you stop it?...full on policing "without fear or favour"...so, no pointless partnerships with people in the shooting industry who are apologists for the criminals responsible..[as in the common quotes a week or so after the latest atrocity saying.."yes its terrible but you must understand the pressures these people are under nowadays"...which is all too often accepted by Sheriffs when the few criminals that get caught, appear before them..

thats it, in a nutshell!
