Raptor Persecution continues

Yet another sorry story on the Focusing on Wildlife website today about the tragic ending of life of a Golden Eagle in Scotland. Some of these large shooting estates tell us they are the guardians of the countryside however the environments they create as purpose driven to support their own shoots for commercial purposes. The legislation in place seems to be rarely applied as those who support and frequent these places have a vested interest. 

On the Raptor Persecution Scotland website it gives you the hard facts of 31 Eagles, 7 years and 0 prosecutions. Let us hope 2014 brings some much needed improvements.
