  1. You’re cheating. That is clearly not a selfie, as both your hands are visible. Did you have a black macaque take the photo for you?

  2. No.

    The problem with being against wildlife crime is it means you are for wildlife including herds of deer having to be shot dead as soon as possible for very badly thought out reasons. Birders against Wildlife crime is a very dubious organisation in my opinion. Not only do they support legally mandated mass slaughter but they are also closely linked to an organisation that employs serious criminals to spy on the public and even has gone so far as doing so with a [this will be deleted by Mark so I have self censored out of courtesy].

    Besides why send them a selfie? Charlie Moore’s other organisation has already taken my photo which they forwarded to the self proclaimed ‘Bumpkin Harassment Squad’ for inclusion on their website with superimposed telescopic gun sights alongside the caption that I am a ‘countryside terrorist’.

    I am not a countryside terrorist for refusing to kill wildlife. The real terrorists are the people that slink around behind hedges together with [again self censored] filming other peoples toddlers in order to intimidate them.

    Mark refuse to publish this if you like, but that video WAS put up and as a supporter you do have some responsibility for it. Speaking out about such things is not nearly so bad as putting people’s kids online against parents wishes for the sole reason of getting to them.

    1. giles – you haven’t even mentioned that your bile is directed at the League Against Cruel Sports (which I doubt is Charlie’s ‘other’ organisation – I suspect he is one of those dangerous members of the RSPB and BTO too (although I am only guessing here).

      That is it on this subject. You cannot drag your vendetta against LACS into every comment on this blog, however irrelevant. You’ve had your say. But you have HAD it on this subject for a while.

      1. My vendetta isn’t against LACS Mark it’s against people that think it appropriate to criminalise people not killing wildlife. If there was a law laying down absurd circumstances where it was illegal not to kill a Hen Harrier I’d break it to. Wouldn’t you?

        Birders against wildlife crime is an organisation which is attempting to perpetuate a vicious prejudice against wildlife criminals. Would you support birders against ginger haired people? There is nothing about a wildlife criminal that justifies people being against them, as a group.

        How would you feel if I turned the tables and set up a ‘wildlife criminals against birders’ group? Thee may well be some unpleasant birders but using them to ta the birders as a whole is just prejudice – surely you can see that?

          1. I am assuming you understand the concept of irony Mark. Being against all birders on the basis of bad apples is no less absurd than being against all wildlife criminals on the basis of bad apples.

    2. “Mark refuse to publish this if you like, but that video WAS put up and as a supporter you do have some responsibility for it. Speaking out about such things is not nearly so bad as putting people’s kids online against parents wishes for the sole reason of getting to them.”

      Haven’t you read the bit about parental consent? No photos of kids are allowed without parent/guardian in photo. Which is about as PC as you can get nowadays without scaring the bejeesus out of people.

  3. OK – I’m confused…. ‘Being against all birders on the basis of bad apples is no less absurd than being against all wildlife criminals on the basis of bad apples’. I am sure that there are ‘good’ birders and ‘bad’ birders – but am struggling with the concept of good ‘wildlife criminals’ – surely the clue is in the title??
