In the papers today,a report stating that at Langstone harbour in
Dorset,the rspb is actually issuing hunting licences!WHAT!I hear you
say.Well,i believe it.Apparently this has been going on for 30
years.The warden says its because to police the hunting would be too
difficult,so by issuing licences,it can be better monitored..In the
same way Churchill ought to have issued visas to the Germans in
1940,because defending the country was too difficult!
I bet these hunting licences bring in a pretty penny,and as they are
only hunting common ducks,why not?
So,common ducks dont need protecting then?Then again,its well known
that the rspb doesnt include the Red Grouse on its protected species
list.Why,rich toffs pay thousands to shoot them!
