naddan28 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I was round the in-laws when my gf was flicking through the mail. I saw the picture of a big maggie so snatched the paper and read the article. It was reasonably informative explaining the increase in magpies and the reasons behind them (less gamekeepers etc) but also used the correct wording Larsson Trap for example. Now we get to the real shocker...he openly said that magpies needed to be managed and mentioned shooting as a way without any snide digs or false acqusations! He even went to the extent of condeming the RSPB for standing by and leaving the maggie population unchecked and said that people needed to except that unless they wanted there gardens filled with crows, maggies and pigeons action was required! Now the mail has gone up in my estimations, something I never thought I would ever say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps their sales fell after the RECENT acusations reguarding shooting I would still poke it with a stick first to make sure it won't turn on you like a rabid dog! After all it bites BOTH sides LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAKEBITE Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think it is the reperter rather than the paper itself but any good move is well appreciated. I read the article and it seemed well balanced and to the point, I am impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
