It is Just So Depressing.

Why would anyone shoot a bird like this!

I was saddened to read about that. It is below contempt.

Sadly it all comes down to money. I'm not well up on the background over in NI is it sheep farming or game interests that are anti-raptor some other set of commercial interest?

I would say it was some eejit that just took a potshot rather than for more sinister reasons.

The shooting community is probably alive with gossip about the perpetrator. Hopefully he will be exposed. With any luck the corpse will be found and provide proof of the crime.

Its not right! Uneducated people with guns! We need better education and the law has to be stronger or inroduction of birds like these will become highy expensive and near impossible..

Argh! We have this problem here in Oz with farmers shooting raptors. Thankfully these days the trend is reversing...
