BREAKING: UK bans pigeon and crow shooting

Whilst reading much chit chat on the net about Packham I came across a link to his twatter page.
I expected support for him by his pigeon hugging hangers on but some of the comments from them are unbelievable.
People calling for all guns to be taken by the gov, people who shoot animals should be forcefully sterilized no matter what age or sex they are
I never really took any notice of the pigeon hugger/antis before but it looks like they are insane.
Check his page out. I won't put a link as a sudden influx of traffic from this site would not be good.

It is often very surprising the level of violence that one person is prepared to lay upon another in the "defence" of an ""innocent animal"....

Very likely it was one from his own camp - they play dirty at the best of times.

BASC have sent out an email showing that they have produced a briefing document that they are sending to all MPs:

Every time this happens, or in fact every time we get a free day at the weekend, we need to get someone who’s not shot before and take them out shooting.

The only way public opinion will change is if more of the public see how much fun, satisfaction and pleasure shooting can bring.

So save your online forum rants people and instead call that mate who once said they’d like to come and give it a go.

Exactly!

A great pity the NRA stopped holding the open days. Having heard about these from a fellow smallbore shooter, two of us attended just for a laugh, got hooked, and joined the NRA on the strength of our first go with a centrefire rifle at 1000yds.

At a subsequent one, a couple of neighbours joined us to see what it was all about.

(Please note, any NRA hierarchy who may be reading this.......!!)

Yes, a great pity.

Not very likely, they do not like us here on F-B.

We should lobby them to bring the open days back and lobby all our home clubs to make use of all their 12 days a year, let’s make it every first Sunday in the month, get every club in the country open for friends and family.

We could rename it Gunday

Lolllolol
