Well said. Spot on.
Mickb i have alot of respect for your posts. It's good to see at least someone is representing your sport responsibly.
Threatning people is needless, and primitive.
You send your birds out at their own risk.
Just as falconers do.
Sheep fencing, electrical boxes, and ignorant gun owners kill UK falconers BOP's all the time.
In other countries, particularly the USA, eagles frequently kill falconers birds.
Its no different to your Pigeons. They still send them out knowing the risk.
The fact your birds are killed is your fault. As they are your responsibility.
You take pride in your birds welfare, just as falconers do.
We dont want to see your racers taken by wild Peregrines, but its a fact of life that they are,
that will never change.
Acting your anger out on wild peregrines will cause nothing but repercussions.
Whilst it continues, the legitimacy of your cause will always be reduced to you being just a bunch of 'angry little pigeon men'.
