Better Protection For Birds Of Prey
I want better protection for birds of prey which are being slaughtered in huge numbers by gamekeepers on the behalf of landowners in order to protect their game shoots.
Why is this important?
The recent court case in Norfolk where a gamekeeper was found guilty of poisoning 10 buzzards and a Sparrowhawk and only receiving a paltry 10 week suspended sentence, highlights the need for these birds to be given far better protection with much heavier sentences to the perpetrators, which should include the landowners who these gamekeeper work for. The killing of these birds is widespread is something I find totally abhorrent as these people are destroying creatures that belong to all of and are an absolute delight to see.
