Wishing you many happy returns of this birthday!

The list of achievements is impressive.

If the Royals renounced their slaughter of wildlife & announced their intention to protect it, that would have an impact on the aristos who think killing is jolly good sport.

Ever thought of getting up a petition aimed at the Princess of Wales? I heard that she doesn't want her children involved in blood 'sports'. It may be only rumour, but worth a try?

I think she just objected to having her children's faces made dirty with blood in the 'blooding ritual'. I don't think she gave a thought for the animals supplying the blood! Reminds me of Lady Macbeth - 'Out damned spot'!!

OK, but a petition aimed at her might make PofW think more deeply about WHY she didn't like the blooding of her kids. Distasteful?

How much more distasteful is the killing of sentient creatures for 'sport' or 'fun'? - an activity of psychopaths who turn into serial killers.

Bad for mental health at the very least.

Can't thank you enough Rob, you are so inspiring and such a positive role model now for young folk - and oldies like me too! Don't know how many breaths I have left, but in all of them I will be supporting you! x

Exceptional dedication and commitment. Our wildlife are lucky you have their backs (along with all the heroic sabs and monitors across the country). You guys have been hugely successful in raising public awareness regarding the enormity of wildlife crime being committed across the country daily. I for one had no idea what was taking place until I came across Keep the Ban. I am proud to now support your efforts, if only in a very minor way.

Thank you to all who are involved in this amazing movement to protect our wonderful wild beasts (and birds!). 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Me too. I had no idea either Ian until I signed the "Keep the Ban" petition on change.org ✊.

Hi Rob - you're amazing and Protect the Wild is a truly amazing achievement! Some organisations make good progress that can be noticed at each annual review but Protect the Wild makes progress that is easy to record month by month. The goals and accomplishments are in an area which is notoriously slow at gaining traction but PtW just powers on and on. And that happens because all the drive and energy is constant and it's driven on by you and some close colleagues. I could not be more proud that I'm a very minor cog. Thank you for making all of this possible - you're the BEST!
