holloway Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Interested to see the outcome of this ,as attempting to trap Goshawks as opposed to actually trapping seems odd to me . That said inexcusable if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rim Fire Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 What sort of trap was it may have been a Larsen trap or a ladder trap until the Goss is trapped and then not released how do they know they was targeting Goshawks  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 (edited) From the link above; "The 47 year old man from the Wrexham area was charged with using a trap for the purpose of killing or taking a wild bird and possessing an article capable of being used to kill or take a wild bird. He is due to appear before Wrexham Magistrates Court on Thursday 28 March." Â So how do the Welsh Authorities intend to proceed with trapping of corvids?

wymberley Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 As silly as it might sound I can’t seem to shake off a feeling that this could well end up with egg all over someone’s face and it’s not going to be the accused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are more than likely correct, only problem is when something like this as the voice of Lolo Williams behind it the damage is already done.  Edited March 15 by old'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event that we should just happen to be correct, a large dollop needs to be kept back for the gentleman you mention who should then be seen to be receiving it.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Just wondering if BASC or NGO are/will be keeping an eye out for the proceedings at Wrexham Magistrates Court tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 Does anyone know why this case was discontinued before it came to court again? Other than vague comments about 'procedural errors' and 'doubts about the admissibility of RSBP video evidence', that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't really matter now, with the help of Iolo Williams and the media the damage is done. Â Â Edited May 5 by old'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our history of turning the other cheek that has got us where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
