Your comments are very much in line with my own on the matter and should be read by anyone interested in this serious crime. The Wales Online article brings this inquiry right slap-bang into the place it belongs - the public domain, even if it appears to be 3 years late!The estate owners are wholly responsible for the running of Glanusk and the fact that this inquiry has not been made public until now is absolutely shameful, it creates far more questions now regarding some type of 'cover-up' than any kind of bad publicity for the Glanusk Estate owners/management might have had regarding the original crime in 2013.Everyone I've spoken to today that have read the article have said 'they smell a rat' and some have provided views that I cannot print on this highly regarded forum! Unfortunately we are not privy to all the facts or evidence surrounding this appalling crime and are therefore sadly disadvantaged. I doubt that this is the end of this particular bad business and forums such as this one will continue to highlight such appalling and cruel practices.Further comments and contributions on this case are more than welcome and might go some way towards reminding the owners and managers of estates such as Glanusk about their responsibilities and what the Great British public expect - (and demand!) - of them. The costs incurred for all and sundry in the investigations and inquiry were costs incurred by all of us...and many innocent wonderful creatures died horrific agonising deaths...and for what?</blockquote>
