 Countryside Alliance Chief Executive Simon Hart updates you on the important work our political team is doing for shooting rights: The process of creating legislation is not sexy, but it is an area where the devil in the detail could not be more important. The Alliance is very lucky to have a political team who have been through the mill and have an intimate understanding of the workings of Westminster. The Marine and Coastal Access Bill, which is currently in the House of Lords, is a case in point. Most of us would be snoring gently after the first page, but thankfully others have more fortitude and the Alliance, with partner organisations, has been scrutinising every clause. |

Countryside Alliance Chief Executive Simon Hart writes: Our friends at the RSPB have had a busy time recently, attacking shooting and predator control with the usual dollops of hypocrisy thrown in. Last Saturday The Times reported on its criticism of people controlling magpies, unaffected by a fact that would be awkward to a less confident organisation: the RSPB indulges in the control of magpies and crows on its own ‘reserves’. It seems that the RSPB’s magpies are different to everyone else’s. Apparently “it may be necessary to reduce magpie numbers” to protect birds on their reserves, but it does “not think there is any case for people to do it in their own gardens”. So just by flying from your garden to an RSPB reserve the kindly, vegetarian magpie becomes a black and white killing machine. |
