Funny, isn't it how some (but not all) of those who're so quick to rush to deplore violence against 'innocent birds' (presumable Song Bird Survival know where the guilty birds are!) are in the forefront in demanding violent retribution against characters like this loathsome throwback,

Uh? Read through this thread again and nobody seems to be ''demanding violent retribution'', in fact no one has mentioned violence be directed towards him at all, unless you are referring to ringing and tagging per se? Electronic tagging being a commonly used 'non-violent' means of tracking individuals in the community - rather than prison) - ringing is nothing more than we subject birds to for the purposes of conservation and I presume that process is non-violent unless you know otherwise. Your problem whatever it is, is unrelated to the thread - Egg collectors are a threat to conservation, to suggest they ringed and tagged as birds are for conservation, is a play on words and tongue in cheek, but even if it wasn't, it would be appropriate for someone with a record of stealing so many eggs to ensure there are means to prevent recidivism . The purpose of 'justice' in the CJS is for 'reparation' not 'retribution' - the punishment must be in proportion to the crime.
