bibendium Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Having watched the disgusting shooting of feral goats and sheep etc I was pleased to see you have raised this with relevant authorities. however as a pigeon fancier in Ayrshire I have been dismayed over recent years to see on Facebook and other simlar sites of the shooting of thousands of obviously racing pigeons up and down the country which you will know is illegal, nothing ever seems to get done about it and these people openly flaunt there prey online . is there a distinguishment between the goats and sheep and our pigeons? could you please investigate and raise the question. I sent this email to Mike Russel MSP who was on BBC Scotland news tonight . I will post any replies I get if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter swanston Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Some years ago I represented the Scottish fancy a a meeting of a committee of the Scottish Parliament to speak on the birds of Prey problem,I quickly realised that I was a voice in the wilderness and I am sorry to say that I have little confidence in politicians.

red dog Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 This whole thing is a farce , the R.S.P.B has been responsible for the shooting dozens of goats in the past, whether it was called culling or killing did not matter a lot to the goats,and of course S.N.H.were aware of their acts. No doubt they will be keeping heads well down over this one. Ethically I think their is something shabby about about people who pose for photos grinning over a corpse , but I believe this is part of a bigger and broader campaign against shooting estates, there has been a steady drip of stories recently, shooting blue hares, disappearing eagles and falcons,etc but the reality is that this mince is getting a hearing at government level by people who would not recognize a bird of prey if it hit them between the eyes.

bibendium Posted November 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 Thank you for your email, any specific request should be taken up by your constituency MSP as Parliamentary protocol forbids Mr Russell from taking on cases out with his constituency of Argyll & Bute. It would appear that as suggested by Del earlier in the thread Mr Russell indeed does not give a expletive removed* and his posturing on TV was all for show. I have emailed this intimation to him but dont expect a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
