Outrage at Peak District bird of prey persecution

[WD-40]

Illegal persecution against goshawks in parts of the Peak District is becoming relentless

The RSPB and Severn Trent Water have today expressed their outrage at the wanton destruction of the nest of one of Britain’s most persecuted and rare birds of prey over the last few days. The RSPB is offering a reward of £1000 for information leading to a conviction.

The crime is the latest in a long-running series of attacks on birds of prey in the Peak District. It leaves only one active goshawk nest in the entire Derwent Valley, which previously has held six pairs of these birds of prey.

Bloody disgusting, I do hope they catch the offenders.

That is so sad.

If the punishment were to fit the crime, these sickos would have their houses destroyed.

Maybe that would deter others?

Worthwhile considering perhaps.

Yes, I'd go along with that. Probably some Gamekeeper.
