PROTECTING PIGEONS?

[Sparrow Hawker]

Hi,

Perhaps someone in the know can shed some light on this!

Defra protecting pigeons, I spoke to a guy today who lives on a farm he was saying his mother in law received a letter from Defra stating that pigeons should be scared away and not shot?

Does anyone know anything about this?

I have had a look on Defra's site but can't seem to find anything about this.

All The Best,

Hi,

UNBELIEVABLE this government is raving mad, :x This really is another piece of legislation that shows this present government are incapable of running the country. Where will falconry end up with the way this country is heading!!!

"Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £5,000 or a maximum six months in prison" - Armed Robbers get less than that.

P.S. How long will it be before wild rats are placed on the protected list :lol:

In my opinion this government really do need to be voted out!!!

All The Best,

HH
