It's long past the time when the destruction of our nature should have ended. Years ago the estates hung the raptor corpses on gates as some sort of triumphant success story, now they hide their victims but have no shame - it is archaic and wrong!

Beyond belief that adults can get pleasure killing and maiming living targets, for " sport".

One thing I have always said, if the birds could shoot back, the cowards would not go out shooting them. None of the so-called killing sports endanger the killers. That is why they like guns, they can kill from a distance.

These 'restrictions' aren't worth the paper they printed on. Just bloody ban bird shooting FFS!

Why oh why to insecure pathetic people believe this is ok. This is not sport, sport would be jumping up into the air and catching a bird with your bare hands. But these sad individuals have been convinced that it makes them part of an imagined elite squad of special clever people. The act of killing for pleasure should surely be questioned in 2026. There is a product readily available in pharmacies which may sort out the problems these people quite clearly have. It’s called Viagra.
