Raptor killing

The root cause of the killing of raptors is the shooting of game birds
for fun and recreation. If this was banned completely as a cruel and
un-necessary activity, the perceived "need" for killing these birds
would not be there.

On the other hand, the RSPB, Woodland Trust and other so-called
conservation organisations advocate the killing of birds and other
wildlife, ie deer, squirrels, hedgehogs etc., for the very same reason
as the shooting estates - they don't want these species to "prey" on
the species they want to protect and exploit; be it other birds,
mammals or trees.

So one lot is as bad as the other and the sooner all killing of
wildlife and game is stopped the better.

It should be recognised that wildlife and game birds are parallel
species to our own and not just there for our whims, amusement and
exploitation.

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