Gamekeeper charged with trapping goshawks


Recommended Posts

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."

 

So how do the Welsh Authorities intend to proceed with trapping of corvids?

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.

:good:

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.

However, I can't for the life of me understand why this should be so when we have the - in alphabetical order - BASC, CA and  NGO. 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.

Fetch a priest, perhaps.

We don't need this feeding the anti shooting lobby. NRW are trying their best to stop game shooting and then you get these headlines 😭

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.

He was charged with using a trap for the purpose of killing or taking a wild bird? I can think of a number of reasons why they would have dropped/discontinued case.

Doesn't really matter now, with the help of Iolo Williams and the media the damage is done.

Yep. It's our history of turning the other cheek that has got us where we are.
