Raptor poisoning still worrying in Scotland
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Aug 29 2008 | By: Martin Odino
Chris Rollie, RSPB Scotland’s area manager for Dumfries and Galloway, said: “When great efforts are being made to attract visitors to rural areas, the negative message of an illegally poisoned countryside is the last thing we need, while the effect on wildlife is appalling.”
Dumfries and Galoway is notorious and recently this year, four buzzards were found poisoned and baits recovered from the area.
And so the police, the government and RSPB aare at task with investigations given the outrageous raptor poisoning cases tha thave led to calls by a charity for crackdown on bird poisoning.
The charity’s investigations staff received a total of 229 reports of possible persecution incidents in 2007 in Scotland, 16 of which were from the Dumfries and Galloway area.
