If I could be PM for a day, the first thing I would do is ban game bird shooting, every time I read about yet another BoP meeting an untimely death I feel rage and sadness in equal measure, the fact that these keepers think they're above the law makes me so angry, I loathe them with a passion

Why not tag all gamekeepers? They are the suspects let the law keep a close check on them. I know this won't happen, the psychopaths will cry foul and everyone in the shooting industry will bend over to protect these criminals.

What is wrong with these miscreants who derive satisfaction from the killing of such magnificent animals ?

Birds and wildlife should not be killed for ANY reason!!! Perpetrators should have significant consequences.

Free roaming animals belong to everyone. This activity is so selfish it's unbelievable...literally. I had no idea just how our countryside was cleansed of wildlife for the benefit of the few until relatively recently. It makes me seethe and we need to continue to make more people aware to build the pressure on these selfish, entitled killers. Good work, PTW.

So-called "game" birds as well as birds of prey have every right to live their amazing lives as nature intended and not blasted from the sky for the gratification of maniacs.

While grouse moors exist, so will the killing of raptors, to much money involved for that to happen,

so this killing will continue ad infinitum.
