ratchers Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Good article by Beefy castigating Packham and the RSPB https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/09/06/bbc-quick-listen-chris-packham-friends-rspb/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Not got a problem with the rspb buying or using trap as we all know wildlife management is a balancing act if you're trying to avoid boom and bust. What I do have a problem with is them and packham telling the rest of use what we can and can't do and lying to get the public on their side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panoma1 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 That is the issue, the RSPB, Packham, Avery et al, are trying to wrest control from real conservationists (shooters, keepers, landowners etc) so they can dictate what, how, when and why their idealistic/protectionist view of conservation can be achieved.........they will not admit (or they don't or won't understand?) that real conservation is not about protectionism, its about, amongst other things, controlling and balancing, by sometimes using lethal means, populations of some species for the benefit of others (including ours!) They are preying on the ignorance and gullibility of the public to garner support in order advance their aims!...it not about killing things it's about power and control and who holds it!

Scully Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Looks like a good article but can’t read it all without subscribing. Can I subscribe and then immediately unsubscribe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchers Posted September 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 I didn't have to subscribe, I read it in the paper but googled it to paste the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redial Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Yes, it's a good article but preaching to the converted in the Torygraph, which I buy and enjoy when feeling flush. It would be of more use in the Sun, Mirror etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
