The RSPB have, this morning, launched yet another attack on the managers of grouse moors.

In an interview screened on BBC1 news, the RSPB claimed that the "decline" in raptors was caused by the illegal shooting, trapping and poisoning of birds on moors managed for grouse shooting.

Interestingly (and in the BBC's true spirit of impartiality) there was no-one to refute these unfounded allegations and neither was the spokesman challenged on the small matter of proof.
No mention was made of any prosecutions following these so-called events. Perhaps because they only exist in the politically motivated and finance driven minds of the RSPB.
