nae money in it for him he dont give 2 forks aboot your doos hes seen all the petiotions for last 20 years and iped his ars with them sorry m8 your in cuckoo land thinking they will listen

 

 

I am an optimist they said that when I wanted to put a NEW geraldy transporter on the road for my Fed

 

Well with a lot of hard work and great patience and lottery grants we got our NEW transporter in 2007

 

They said SNP would not win well they almost did and I predict they will win next time round 56 seats gave everyone else a major fright

 

At 68 I am still up for a challenge of any kind the worm always turns

Some great points you have brought up Ian but this has been going round in circles for years and still nothing done I am sure the late stan bonnington from

Loanhead met with ministers with save our sport and here we are years later and in a worst state

 

Instead of all the cash we as a sport raise for other charities started to raise cash to help ourselves the charities we help each year might just wonder and come on side with us

 

 

Covered that in my first article John

Your right Stuart but what took you so long to realise what is happening

Pigeon men cannot agree on anything we have transporters running 60% empty but will not convoy others

We have clubs with only 2 or 3 members flying but will not join a bigger clubs

We have fanciers who cannot get into a club Clubs that cannot get into Feds

Unions that won't uphold the interests of ALL members

We have 2 National clubs in Scotland which is ridiculous ??

We have Unions that are only interested in making money and do not represent there members properly (not going to quote problems we all know them)

We seem to be governed by people only interested in there own Egos

We have some dominant people who want there own way at any cost

 

Why you may ask

 

Answer we the members don't want to do anything we are happy to leave it to others and then complain when things go wrong but we will still not do anything about it

I could go on all day but why at 68 I think I have seen it all

Greed

Profit

Spitefullness

Lack of support

Lack of interest

Unhelpfull members

And the ego trippers

And the biggest of all the RSPB and there Very powerfull lobbying of Parliment our Unions cannot and will not compete so we just keep funding charities who do not help us in any way

 

I do not know any other sport or organisation that has this problem and sits back and accepts it untill we get TOGETHER and all sing from the same hymn sheet we will get NOWHERE

 

Hope the members get there birds back but for what another slaughter next week?

 

Good on your driver for reporting it and Officials for not covering it up

drive all the transporters to London and do what the French do and blockade the streets and bring London to a stand still then they might listen to our case

 

 

This appeals to me could it be done YES with a little more thought and organisation

 

Thanks Brilliant :emoticon-0137-clapping: :emoticon-0137-clapping:

Transporters could be adorned with shocking pictures of half eaten pigeons to add as much trauma as possible

Well put Peter and at long last a sensible solution where it will be reported not only in the press but BBC and ITV news. LETS BLOODY DO IT.

Did the rpra not have a raptor alliance who tried to get a petition going but needed around 100,000 signatures to try and get the law changed about raptors

[THE FIFER]

hit both parliaments on the same day, one lot to London and one lot to Edinburgh

[maverick]

There you go guys one night and a good idea would take a bit of organisation but would cause a big impact

[Ian McKay]

This was the idea of my post to get others ideas there is always an answer it's finding it that's hard :emoticon-0137-clapping: :emoticon-0136-giggle:

Great idea and could be done easily make them listen to us sitting back doing nothing while the rspb look for more nesting sites makes me sick.lets form a team and make it happen.form our own team and get moving.put your name forward if you want to come aboard.these bops are destroying our sport before our eyes. marshall findlay .ps the french have right approach

I watched Percy mesmerise my ybs today, they sat on roof like statues staring upwards, frozen stiff with fear, and that's the bassa about 200 yards away.

Idealistic, not realistic.......will never happen.

The fear is inbreed into them its got somthing to do with the wing and body shape the know it the minute there allowed out the loft at 3 weeks . 3 curlews went over my loft few days ago and birds in the aviary bounced of the walls , but looking at them very similar wing and body shape and move fast .

[greenbar]

the same here rab,dones not need to be a raptor flying over,a crow,rook starling ,etc lands on the roof they sh** their selves,once the fear factor kicks in, I reckon the homing instinct goes as well.
