alex wight Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 As an idea to try and let the public actually see, what the effects are, off having uncontrolled numbers of birds of prey. 1. Have an intellectual fancier, draw up a letter with all the true facts, (not the rspb lies), ready for publication in our local/national newspapers. 2. We the users of this site, and beyond, supply e-mail addresses of our local papers. 3. Once we have collated a great number of papers to be hit, that one person sends an e-mail to every address that he/she has been supplied. 4. An update can be shown, so that we can all see what areas have been covered and those yet needing covered. 5. Letters can be re-written differently, so that on the 1st of every month a new letter, relating to the same cause can be published. 6. we can continue to do this until we get noticed, we may even attract news coverage both local and hopefully nationally. only an idea to try and help our cause. Regards alex.
Delboy Posted January 30, 2011 Report Posted January 30, 2011 Good thinking Alex, something has to be done m8
alex wight Posted January 30, 2011 Author Report Posted January 30, 2011 Good thinking Alex, something has to be done m8 Cheers Derek, if its done this way at least a concentrated event is taking place at once and on a regular basis, all over the uk and beyond. But it will only work if fanciers and the like can be bothered to supply e-mail addresses to send the letters. Its not that hard...............................is it, time will tell. great idea if you ask me all we need is an intellectual fancier or someone that can collect up to date info/figures, and send the letters out. Roland are you up for it lol .............

alex wight Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 the petition was a great idea IF you were at Blackpool (i wasnt). Where will the petition go? I applaud everyone who makes the effort, this way along with the petition can highlight our plight all over.

cemetary Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 The petition is a great idea, getting all the guys to sign up for it, but where does it go after that, never here any more what has happened or what the progress has made. Ecky, wonder if the East Fife Mail would be interested in a wee story, just to try and get this of the ground, and you never no it could elabirate from there, maybe onto the bigger papers. When am doon the street the morra, i will pop in and ask someone there, i will get back to you.

Dougie if we hit every paper where the fanciers live ie east fife mail, fife free press, courier, fife gazette, glenrothes gazette and the rest we have in fife. Can you imagine the reaction from joe public when they see true letters appearing in their papers on a monthly event, all about the devastation being caused by the lack of control of bops. I,m sure there could be papers requesting interviews all over the place. Let me know how you get on mucker. cheers guys, lets get this moving .
cemetary Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Ladies/Gentleman Just phoned our local paper to ask to speak to someone to discuss the issue on BOPS, i briefley explained to him about the situation that the pigeon guys who keep any type of pigeons are in. He is at an Editorial meeting, and he is happy to take this on, he is going to phone me back on Thursday for a further discussion. What sort of questions he is going to ask i just dont no yet, he may require some pics owe birds that have been slaughtered in there gardens, if you have anything that will be to better the pigeon guys, forward it onto my email addy, dougiedoos@hotmail.com Will keep all informed of the outcome later on on Thursday. Dougie.
