Default stop killing birds of prey

I have been doing some voluntary work for the RSPB and got involved in the bird of prey campaign, so was hearing some horror stories about how many birds of prey are still being trapped, poisoned and shot even in these enlightened times.
Amazingly there are still people who think that birds of prey should be killed because they kill smaller and cuter animals, but if we follow the logic then all prey species in the world - cheetahs, snakes, killer whales - should be killed by humans.
Birds of prey are spectacular and a part of the natural wildlife of the country so lets fight to leave them to enrich our biodiversity.
Go to the RSPB website to support the campaign
The RSPB: Birds of prey

Tread gently on the earth.

Hi Highwater,

Thanks for drawing our attention to this.

I've done it and spread it about too.

By the way, the server is slow, so be patient. Please pass on to the RSPB that there website is often very slow and returning timed out errors.
