After Hen Harrier shootings why retain Royal Patronage

Surely the humblest garden bird-spotter would make a better patron than these gun toting maniacs who along with their gamekeepers pursue their passion for killing wildlife in the name of sport.

If the RSPB can't or won't campaign publicly against these people and refuse their 'patronage' then perhaps it's time to drop the 'P' from your acronym.
