Wooder Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) Just watched country wise ITV, they had piece on the Bewick swans. Girl on there said they have xrayed swans, she said most had gun shot wounds, and people use them for target practice. I nearly choked on my beer, giving us shooters bad press again.

And considering they are migratory I would strongly counter that any shooting would have been carried out in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 The UK is a long way from Siberia, anyone could have had a pop at them on their journey, also because of their small size some hunters may mistake them for geese. Did they point out where these birds are possibly being shot at, if not, UK shooters will get tarnished with same brush and perfect propergander material for WJ.

Dibble Posted December 7, 2019 Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 I've wondered when we are told X% of duck that arrive at Game Dealers are shot with lead if the lead shot actually killed them or if they were pricked abroad first. I suppose an easy way to check would be if they also contained Steel/Bismuth etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same old lies that the opposition always use, non traceable invective? .... good enough to further their aims as the majority are unthinking anyway?
