Yet another "expert's" opinion



http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scitech.cfm?id=889252007


So why does JLK's view not surprise me? He has a foot in both camps;
exploiting wildlife for tourism and it wouldn't do to affect either it
seems :-(

But this is the standard view of wildlife "experts" especially those
involved with organisations like the Wildlife Trusts and the RSPB.
They kill wildlife they don't regard as appropriate by origin or
abundance.

In 2001 I conducted an email survey of over 40 Wildlife Trusts asking
if they killed wildlife on their properties. Only two confirmed they
didn't - with the rest either confirming they did or not responding.

The RSPB of which JLK was chairman even owns land jointly with
wildfowlers who shoot ducks and geese. Some way of protecting birds!

In an RSPB news release of February 2005 they said "cooking our planet
will disrupt and devastate all life and giving this process the cosy
name global warming only makes it easier for all of us, especially
politicians, to ignore the consequences", yet at the same time they
were accepting pages of world wide travel advertisements in their
Birds magazine.

When it suits them, conflicting views reign.

Seems not much has changed!

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
