Another magnificent Sea Eagle poisoned in Kerry! (1 Viewer)

Another magnificent Sea Eagle poisoned in Kerry!

I'm beginning to think that what the Irish say about the Kerry people being THICK is perhaps true, after all! :-(

"It is the ninth eagle poisoned in the sheep farming area of the Reeks which extends west of Killarney and includes the river Laune and Beaufort area. Another eagle was shot in the vicinity."

Sea Eagles Poisoned in Kerry

Sadly, it's just not possible to overestimate the stupidity of some Farmers! |:mad:|

How do we even begin to educate these Farmers?
I know some parts of rural Ireland are considered to be a wee bit backward, but these guys are behaving just like their forefathers did, back in the C19th! Have they learned NOTHING in the past 200 years?

Cheers

If they are clever enough to knowingly use banned poison baits indiscrimiately, having first obtained them illegally, then they are clever enough to know that what they are doing is illegal. Unfortunately, as in Scotland and England, the police couldn't care less, or what's even worse, the chief constable probably has his own ulterior motives and is more than likely in collusion.

No and probably don't want to either.

Si.
