rasbull Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Just has an email from the Daily Mail asking for my postal address so looks promising that my letter will be published in the next few days! I will also be putting a downloadable petition on my website for members to download a copy and take to club mates, family, friends etc who don't have access to a computer. This ball is moving guys, now we got to keep it going! 381 signatures on the petition and 267 members on the Facebook Action Page. (That means an average of 18,500 members of the public are seeing pictures of the carnage these BOP are doing!) WE NEED MORE THOUGH!! Richard Shepherd www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
Mealy Cock Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Brill, have you read my latest letter from the RSPB, I have not heard from any other outside source to my e-mails
rasbull Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Posted March 30, 2010 Just to clarify I will be deleting anyone who interferes with the Facebook group. The Facebook Action page is purely a showcase for the carnage these birds are doing to our sport and the songbird population. I am not interested in debate, other causes as there are plenty of places on the internet these discussions can take place. This is purely for songbird lovers, pigeon fanciers to express there feelings and post pictures etc, so members of the general public can see exactly what is happening. Anyone trying to sabotage the page as I said will be banned permanently. I have a banned list of 76 so far, and comments, postings etc are being deleted as soon as they are seen by myself and Admins. The only comments I can not control are comments made by other people if someone other than myself has posted a picture. But as soon as a bad comment is made, the person making it is banned. Once the hawk enthusiasts have been banned it will be plain sailing. Richard Shepherd http://www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk

Guest SPORTKA Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Go to his site and theres a link http://www.Rasbull-lofts.co.uk
Roland Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Very good Richard. The B.O.P0. and RSPB ban sine die any and everyone that has a different point of view at the drop of a hat. Will of course be getting umpteen trying to voice / wtrech Pigeon and such like sites now of course. But that price of intolerance is easy to accept. They will only be 'At It' when it is making a diffence, or Joe Public may be taking notice. So we can take that on board as progress.

pjc Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 Richard, make sure the daily Mail are requested in writting that your address is witheld from any letters published or you will be getting visits!
spurs Posted March 31, 2010 Report Posted March 31, 2010 fair play to you rasbull keep up the good work let the ordnery people out ther wats going on
rasbull Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Posted March 31, 2010 Just sent the Daily Mail a copy of the email I had from the RSPB, stating they are blaming them for bringing to the publics attention purely to sell more newspapers! That should get them on our side! This is what the RSPB had to say in their email, which I have kindly passed onto the Daily Mail! Incidentally, it is the daily Mail who completely mangled the story. A headline of 'Sparrowhawks not responsible for songbird declines' isn't going to shift as many newspapers as 'Where are all the songbirds? Ask a hungry Sparrowhawk!' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1256478/Where-songbirds-Ask-hungry-sparrowhawk.html
Guest bigda Posted April 2, 2010 Report Posted April 2, 2010 looks like the daily mail is not on the side of the song birds, as any one who has commented on the issue have been bared from any commenting on any issues they have , its OK for them to print there version only of the problem, when we all know its the bops that are the real issue here, for the demise of wild birds david the reporter, seem to want to put his head in the sand to safe guard his job
