RSPB condemns peregrine shooting

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...y_sypol203.jpg The bird was shot in its tail and body in two separate incidents

The RSPB has condemned the killing of a peregrine falcon and offered a £1,000 reward for information that leads to the conviction of those who shot it. The young female was found at Hoare Stones in the Derwent Valley, near the South Yorkshire border with Derbyshire.

It is amazing they can be bothered at all if you call them about swans attacking every thing around them on the canal they never turn up I they put animal down unlike the canine defence legue who never kill one as you can tell I don't have a lot of time for them

The low life who done it shoud be shot themselfs, as for pigeon fanciers shot them too. These are the gits who gave us flying rats

The killing of a peregrine falcon is totaly out of order and if it was a pigeon fancier they should be hung high.
