Was there another law regards the protection of 'Hawks / Raptures etc after the 1955 one? :-/ That was just for 2 years, and I feel it hasn't been recinded, and THAT that is the one implying their protection. If this is so.... then revert back to the common denominator, and they aren't protected!!! Now IB time for you to get looking at that side and the legalities... or lack of.

what is needed is all interested party,s to pull as one to take on the rspb , better pr  a new survey by a recognised body to do a count on raptors ,  we should have the right to protect our birds  ,

The current Law is The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

 

Applies EU-wide, covers everything, including the need for a general license e.g. just to possess The Larsen trap, and a seperate license again to use it to trap & kill raptors.

 

As far as I know, only one 'trap & kill' license was ever issued in Scotland, a good few years ago, to extreme annoyance of RSPB, and that allowed taking cormorant that were causing havoc amongst game fish stocks in a river.

I know what you are saying, but isn't it just a bit deeper than that? Again down to human interference (1) reducing red's habitat (Caledonian forest?) (2) introducing greys from America into Britain? Plus the pox virus that greys carry and are immune to, while reds have no immunity. And Reds are Protected by Law while greys are not.

I can't find anything on DEFRA website which changes the Minister's 2008 decison that there would be no badger cull.

 

The only 'NEWS update' I can see is a plan to vaccinate badgers against TB?
