Since coming to power, the Tories have been granting permission for wealthy landowners and developers – many of whom are Tory Party donors – to kill native British wildlife – including robins, starlings, bats, badgers (of course), beautiful hen harriers and other rare species.
This war on our native British wildlife by the Tories has been happening under the radar – a gradual ratcheting up of a low intensity conflict against wildlife which includes granting obscure licences to developers to cull rare species or simply turning a blind eye to the illegal slaughter of birds of prey by grouse shooting landowners.
The latest moves are much bolder – the possible granting of licences for grouse shooting estates to kill rare birds of prey because their wealthy owners are worried they may be ‘interfering’ with their blood ‘sport’.
Eagles have been targeted.
Robins and starlings have been targeted.
Bats have been targeted
Falcons have been targeted.
Hen and Marsh Harriers have been targeted, as well as others.
The question is – how long will this slaughter continue before decent British people wake up, stop doffing our caps and say enough is enough and tell the Tories and their wealthy pals to get their bloodstained hands off our wildlife?
Sharing this blogpost or any of the links below may go some way to waking some people up and stopping this appalling destruction of our natural heritage:

There is only one acceptable way to shoot birds – with a camera (in my case, a Lumix these days)

Agreed, though I prefer Leica these days.
As for the countryside, I find the idea that you leave nothing behind except footprints the only acceptable policy.
But when it comes to grey squirrels, that’s something else; Americans, over-sexed and over here.

The Tories and their ilk drove the Red Kite to extiction in England and we have had to import birds from EU to get them breeding and see their return. Now the Tories and their ilk want to slaughter them all over again? I know who I would like in my rifle sights.

Hello, it’s great to hear from you regarding your thoughts. However the Tories are now speeding their evil reforms up each day….. I do feel now England is completely finished for all, mainly people who have a disability were Tories are making so many cuts to their sickness benefits, foreign 1M disabled people to find work or their income will STOP and leaving them homeless. The reforms will hit all with the run up to Christmas and into the new year, that’s their plans to put in place. Called their new world order that means the poor will no longer exist only the Tories. I have tried ot understand how they think towards us but its like like the Tories get great enjoyment and get off on it in killing sick / disabled people. There are more… Food banks where families with children having to go so they do have a meal. I hope to GOD this will stop by getting rid of evil MP Tories, however do think their in power to the end.
Please share my blog with other?

This got through under the radar ? How ? What about consultation ? Surely this should have been discussed ? If not it’s a disgraceful and shameful abuse of position and I’m sure it does not reflect the views of the British people.
