This is just someone at natural England trying to prove their worth there has to be some form of licensing for pest control and public health, I’d guess that the new licensing won’t be a million miles away from what it is now, but they should of had it in place before revoking the current one, I don’t fully understand how they can do this just on there own, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Just a little bit of advice, don’t put any pictures on line of any birds until we all know where we stand on this

This has come out of no-were I assume to most of us law abiding people, were was  BASC involvement on this one, I was not aware of this happening or going though any courts, I am a long standing member and I thought  this is what we pay are subs for and to keep us members informed.

I understand it's that Packham feller!

As for not understanding how they can do this on their own is easy to answer.

In Britain, the public vote a dictatorship tyrannical goal post moving lying bunch of con experts that like spending your hard earned tax £'s.

I stopped wasting my money with them come the lead ban.

Somehow I was guilty of inflicting terrible suffering to ducks but captains of industry and their toxic wastes is fine!

I'm not following the withdrawal before a new licence is in place.

Seems daft!

Yep, idiots are very resourceful people!

Chris Packham is a tool, and it’s been proven many times. I don’t understand what they’re trying to accomplish, maybe they’ll think twice when the vegans have no crops for their muesli.

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Done.
