Shooting birds

Why is there virtually nothing about the shooting killing and trapping of birds in the Uk on this forum? It is right that we draw attention to the awful killing and trapping in Malta Cyprus and elsewhere, but why do we shut our eyes to the killing on our moors mountains and estuaries ? There is hardly any comment in our magazine, newsletters etc, and sheltering behind our 100 year old Charter is no excuse for inaction now.; thank goodness we have moved on a little from Edwardian massacres, but our silence is deafening.

    Under the RSPB’s Royal charter, the RSPB has to remain neutral on the subject of shooting Gamebirds and Wildfowl which is legal in UK at certain times of the year. So RSPB staff have to be very careful in what they say. Of course that doesn't stop the RSPB members saying how they feel on the subject.

    Regards,
