Duplicity

The more you look into the land management and wildlife pond the murkier the water gets. No statement from land management interests should be taken at face value. They're all into defending their interests, their jobs and their dubious practices.

The latest example of this comes from Scottish Gamekeepers.

These people are claiming they love ground nesting waders. They really want to justify their persecution of predators something they enjoy doing in itself. The bird they're really out to protect is the one they serve up for the rich to shoot, the red grouse.

This sits alongside the charity Songbird Survival, another scam from the shooting industry which loves some wildlife so much that it goes out and shoots it after first of all shooting other wildlife that might prey on it.

Pseudo conservation is a trap for the unwary punter who likes birds.
