I recieved this e-mail from Linda Brooks.

 

FAO ALL SHU MEMBERS

 

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO ACCESS THE INTERNET AND GOOGLE

‘RED TAPE CHALLENGE’

POST A COMMENT UNDER THE SECTION ON WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT.

 

YOU WILL BE AWARE THAT CURRENT LEGISLATION DOES NOT ALLOW US TO CONTROL BIRDS OF PREY TO PROTECT OUR PIGEONS. DESPITE THERE BEING A FACILITY TO APPLY FOR A LICENCE - NO LICENCE HAS EVER BEEN GRANTED. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF RED TAPE BING USED TO PREVENT SENSIBLE BALANCED CONTROL IN OUR COUNTRYSIDE

 

 

Please go to the site and leave your thoughts, try and be diplomatic, as joe public will read the comments. Lets help our sport in a small way.

 

Regards alex

I've had a look Walter and it is there. It's a copy of a letter I sent to the Scottish Parliament earlier in the year about one of my birds that was killed by a hawk and asking about compo and information on obtaining a licence to trap sparrow hawks in my back garden. The reply was not good. They said that SNH are now in charge of licences but there was no chance that one would ever be issued and Austrian court outcomes (compo) had no influence on our laws so no compo would be paid. Waste of time realy, no one in authority cares but they will look a right bunch in 20 years when there is no wee birds left. Our grandchildren will never know what robins or blackies looked or sounded like.

yes james what i cant understand that SNP THEY ARE ALLOWING ALL PAEDOFILES MURDERERS RAPESTS OUT ON TA OOR STREETS AND LET THE WORLDS MOST EVIL MAN OOT MEGRAHI THE LOCKERBIE BOMBER AGAINST THE HOUSE O COMMONS AND U.S.A RECOMENDATIONS BUT YET THE PLONKER SAYS THERE WONT BE A LICENSE ISSUED FOR REDUCING THESE HAND REARED KILLERS that are killing just for fun and JAMES i dont think that SALMOND has done anything for scotland other than flood the place with immigrants which i must say all will agree we certainly dont need them

I would like to see some real form of control over all birds of prey NOT LIP SERVICE as we have at the moment

You would not allow any other animal to cause so much destruction without some form of control

I cannot believe you are promoting these birds that eat there prey alive (which i know you will deny)

A sport that has been in on going for hundreds of years is being destroyed Have you forgot about the invaluable service pigeons and fanciers performed during the war’s delivering invaluable information to our servicemen

My first information came from this thread. I got an email afterwards from SHU, I think it was dated 27th., (Tue) but I'm sure I'd already posted on the Website before I got it. And can't for the life of me understand why the proper link to the Website was given on the email. Would have been a simple click on the link instead of a search on Google.

[Novice]

I have the mail and yes I did leave a comment on the web site.

Yes a more accurate link would have been helpful but I got there in the end.

Before posting I would also have liked some more background information which meant I would have been posting from a position of knowledge.
