No. It is becoming counter productive and petty, as well as mud slinging. AM's last post is just pathetic " I told you so". Actually NO licences have been granted for this , or were ever likely. ANY bird ANYWHERE can be killed if it causes a particular risk or loss to human life or interests. That is not the issue.
Maybe you would have felt my exasparation had you actually contributed more to the current argument, ( you apparently share some views ) so please don't judge me - ok.
CLOSE THE THREAD.
