Rpsb's Anti Keeper Game

RSPB's children's computer game angers fieldsport organisations

A children’s computer game on the RSPB’s website has angered fieldsports organisations. “Raptor Mountain” required the player to dodge shotguns, traps and poison to help birds of prey survive. The game was clearly implying that gamekeepers are to blame for raptor deaths, and has been seen as anti-gamekeeper propaganda.

A spokesman for the Countryside Alliance told Shooting Times: “On the surface, this may seem like an innocent game for children, but the associations are clear — that all gamekeepers are responsible for poisoning and destroying wildlife. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“Not content with its militant position in the media, the RSPB has turned to the next generation for support in a bid to turn the public’s opinion away from gamekeeping.

“The associations made in the game are brazen and blatant, and the young people who play this game will grow up fearing keepers and believing them to be criminals, because of the RSPB’s misguided views and its determination to share them. Raptor Mountain is nothing more than the indoctrination of children and shows the levels to which [the organisation] will stoop to advance its beliefs.”

NB: The RSPB has now taken the game down from its website.

Had this in the grass route too......................

 

"I do not usually draw attention to the activities of those who want to ban our sport, but occasionally it is necessary and one such occasion is the League Against Cruel Sports (LACS) seminar entitled "Gunning for Change". Scheduled to be held on 25th April in London (it was postponed last year due to lack of interest) the symposium is billed to 'expose' shooting in order to get it banned. Of course, those of a certain persuasion who wish to attend such an event are perfectly at liberty to do so - and LACS is offering free entry to try and get some sort of attendance. What is very strange, however, is that the keynote address is being given by Bob Elliot, Head of Investigations at the RSPB."
