kanny 21,060 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 15 years ago there were no buzzards in my area now i see more fricken buzztards than i do sparrows they make daytime rabbit shooting hard work..... no red kites though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ratreeper 441 Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I see lots of buzzards and redkites, but I don't see any reason for them to be controlled. Sorry but protecting game birds is a piss poor excuse in my opinion and shows a lack of understanding of how predator population and distributions work. It isn't like taking out a problem fox that learns where a chicken coop is, any buzzard might take a young pheasant if it gets the opportunity but I would wager it is infinitesimal compared to the numbers killed by cars and if you release birds into the countrside you have to expect to lose a lot of them, that is just common sense. I would understand if there were unnaturally high numbers specifically due to game birds, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Without wanting to re open any old debates, 'unnaturally high numbers' is very much a matter of opinion! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
