Buzzard control plans on the horizon?

[kenny14 656]

...........and what about the 24% of keepers that said that Buzzards dont prove to be a problem, some folk talk shit!!!

 

I think they meant Zoo keepers

 

I personally have a feeling that this 'horizon' will be a very very distant one .

 

And on their adaptability, Buzzards are in many ways more like Corvids than Raptors - a mix of the worst of both?.

Not a chance this will happen, RSPB already said they will start a legal challenge, it will just drag on and on like badger culling.

just another way for lawyers, mp's and tabloids to spend their time while the country keeps going to the dogs.

That's the grim reality I'm afraid.

And it's the most ignorant and ill informed people who get to make the decisions

Once any bird or animal get put on the protected list thats it ,as said it will never happen but if the r.s.p.b.goes to the courts does it have to pay to raise the action ?

Basicly what that article says is some fuckers in suits are gona get payed £375,000 to argue for about 10 years about the rights and wrongs of it after which no one will be allowed to control them anyways. I watched a program 1 nite where the rspb had a camera fixed on a buzzard nest when she was feedin young. The buzzard brought back something like 11 red squirrels to the nest, after that it cut back to the rspb man that was doin the study who announced that she must have got the red squirrels as road kill! They see the world through rose tinted glasses but unfortunately they have the funding to make others believe there shite aswell.

Unfortunately I don't think people see it like that. It's basicly as the others have said, and whether it's Foxes, Badgers, Grey Squirrels, Corvids, or Birds of prey, the general public are fed a regular stream of lies and half truths by well spoken presenters, so called 'experts', pop stars etc, and it's easier to believe these than accept the truth.

Whenever normal animal behaviour does get shown on tv, it's so often 'glossed over' in some way, or described as a rarity which the resident 'expert' has never heard of before, then they almost invariably quickly skip to a clip of something such as cute cuddly Cubs playing.

In my ideal world, the people with the power to make decisions on animal protection laws, or control policies should spend time with the real outdoor people such as farmers, gamekeepers, stalkers, and see nature as it really is, and not how some fools would have us believe.
