Thanks for quick reply Rob, I did donate via your website a while ago, but I want to subscribe, so I will go the cc route.
Have you thought of drones as another weapon in your armoury? I appreciate the expense involved, but they could be shared among sab groups to great effect in evidence gathering.
Hi Mike. Drones do get discussed a fair bit and in the right hands are fantastic tools to tackle illegal hunting and wildlife crime. They do though require training and the operator has to have the right flying licence, or it could be confiscated by the police. If we were asked to provide one by a group with the relevant IDs we'd be certainly be open to dicussing the request with them.
I'm glad you have considered their use, a great advantage would be that the 'pilot' could be located some distance from the sab group, but in radio contact, this would make it difficult for hunt supporters to disrupt our activities.
I'm sure an appeal would attract some experienced licenced flyers to the cause.
This raises the subject of security of messaging and news sharing on this site, have you considered a layer of security such as login as a minium?
I’m afraid here on Substack they exclusively only take card payments so we are unable to take PayPal payments. However if you head to our site you are able to choose any payment method you like to donate, including PayPal. Sorry for any inconvenience, are hands are tied on this one.

Why no PayPal option, I was told this would be added to all future fundraising appeals?
