Although I did see the Channel 4 piece last night I thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention here, and well done to Channel 4. All we can do is keep the pressure up and support charities like Protect the Wild, the RSPB etc. Most of us detest the people who think they are so clever and socially acceptable when they go shooting - and by the way that also includes our monarchy; speaks volumes!!

I couldn't agree more Frances, and I don't think this expose really goes far enough although absolutely, kudos to channel 4 and the rspb for reporting on this abhorrent activity and those brain dead asshats that carry out these awful activities. Also, I don't think the report really reveals anything new, that we don't already know but of course the whole idea of the project was to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the laws were openly being transgressed and this has been done extremely well, even to the point of making one person, while not openly showing it, but certainly not being quite so sure of himself, while previously he might've been. (I think this person was gilruth but would have to check on the footage again. I'm sure there will be someone on here who will correct me if necessary). The 3 gamekeepers were certainly caught bang to rights which is most certainly an achievement to be proud of, especially for the rspb, but once again, well done to channel 4 for taking it up and broadcasting it. I didn't actually see the programme myself, I've only watched what PTW have posted but this, I hope, will spur organisations into action, (with the probable exception of his majesty's govt 🤬🤬🤬🤬😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡, but that should come as no surprise to the rest of us either)!!!!

Well done to the RSPB investigators for capturing this and to channel 4 (again) for showing this! Both good and bad news. Good news that this undercover footage has shown the damning truth to the public and makes their (the barbaric shooting "industry") lies harder to get away with but heartbreakingly bad news that that poor buzzard and those hen harriers were killed 😿💔🦅❤️💖🤬🤬. The same good but also heartbreakingly bad as what the footage of that sadistically vile BSV hunt showed (also on channel 4 👍👏✊) murdering that poor fox 😿💔🦊❤️💖🤬🤬. Video footage capturing instances like this (as well as what the sick BSV hunt did) is indisputable evidence that says and shows the truth of what is really happening without any doubt at all!! I just sincerely hope that you are right Protect the Wild and that the shooting "industry" will come to an end soon (hopefully a lot sooner than later)!! I, for one, know that I will ALWAYS proudly be Anti-hunt and Anti-Shoot (and also Anti-"cull") and that will NEVER change!!

Shooting needs to be banned now along with fox, deer hunting etc. It’s barbaric.

So, they are brutally murdering birds to protect other birds so that they can be brutally murdered! I doubt these beautiful and majestic raptors could ever do as much "damage" as humans do anyway...

This is the disaster and the cruelty. I am completely agree with the Protection of the Wild.

Well legislation hasn't put a stop to the sick activity so maybe we need to consider a different method now. Terror tactics. Putting the fear of God in these law breakers and giving them a taste of their own sick medicine..

L for licence = L for Loophole. 'L' will become a word of its own!

We could do with disbanding these so called '(Un)Natural England/Scotland along with Deathra and similar government bodies and have a ministerial department called Protect The Wild (and all other animals), staffed by PTW + trusted friends! NO LICENCES, NO LOOPHOLES AT ALL!

WE SEE THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN, WE ARE HORRIFIED AT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO WILDLIFE. YET THESE THING CONTINUE. I KNOW OF CHARITIES WHO GO INTO SCHOOLS TO DO TALKS TO PUPILS,(ANIMAL AID IS ONE.) BUT ALL WE GET IS WORDS OF CONDEMNATION FROM THE POLITICANS ETC, AND NOTHING MORE. LIKE THE AMERICAN DENTIST WHO SHOT CECIL THE LION IN AFRICA, HE WENT TO A PR COMPANY WHO TOLD HIM, JUST WAIT AND SOMETHING ELSE WILL COME ALONG FOR PEOPLE TO GET ANGRY ABOUT.

Time to end this madness. What the hell gives these individuals the right. They have no place in our Countryside.
