nobody will get a licence...they cant get them to shoot ravens that are taking lambs

 

[Longlowdog]

I'll have to get busy tomorrow with the 17Hummer. If England does something in haste you can bet our Scottish Sacred Cow will act for perpetuity. That bitch hates shooting.

In their eyes you will be....another case of trying to force farmers out.

Another petition to the BBC to sack the lunatic

 

[It was already broken.]

Is there no bad situation this government can't make worse?

 

[Man_in_black]

Absolutely ridiculous. The way this country is going really saddens & worries me.

Feral and wood pigeons are also amongst the newly protected

From @Longlowdog's link.........
Taken by surprise by the decision, Natural England says it is “working at pace to put in place over the next few weeks alternative measures to allow lawful control of these bird species to continue where necessary”.

In the meantime, and until new licences are issued, anyone needing to control one of 16 bird species where there is no reasonable non-lethal alternative will need to apply for an individual licence in the same way they apply for licences to control birds such as cormorants and ravens. These licences take weeks to obtain and are seldom given out – though Natural England reassures shooters: “If people need to take action in the meantime they will need to apply for an individual licence, using a simplified process which will be available on gov.uk from 25 April.”

I can't really afford the time, but there's a sh!t load of feral pigeons round here, that are eating out of and sh!tting in our creep feeders, that won't live long enough to enjoy the protection of the new ban

 

[Woolless]

Why on earth do crows and pigeons need protected??

And who made this ridiculous decision??

 

[Longlowdog]

Packham threatened to take N.E to court over the General Licences. He hates shooting including pest control. I wonder if he would kill rats, mice or cockroaches in his house?

 

[reverand]

I should invite packham around to mine to dispatch the lamb that had both it’s eyes pecked out or the other one two days ago that had its belly ripped open while it rested

 

[Dry Rot]

Surely feral pigeons are not protected?

It would be lovely if the legislation stopped the control of town pigeons! Have the council pest controllers been informed?

There's hope for my campaign for the introduction of the Black Rat to Whitehall yet!
