Message: <blockquote data-quote="Had.enough" data-source="post: 3391338" data-attributes="member: 87651">And one of the Government initiatives to improve the breeding numbers of Hen Harriers in England? Release them in Southern England! That's right, it is apparently easier to introduce them into a whole new area, than prevent them being shot in their current stronghold. In fact, they can release them in the South, and still shoot them in the North, and numbers will rise. Only a Statistician could come up with that one.I could have sworn I signed a petition to help save the Hen Harrier, and mismanagement of uplands.. The first four paragraphs of their response deals with saving the Grouse shooting "industry".You'd think, seeing all the Hillsborough news today, they would have learned their lesson forever about institutionalised corruption. Their day of shame will come. It might take a whole new, educated generation, to tip the balance but it will come in our lifetime.</blockquote>
