Perhaps the local gamekeepers could go back to shooting magpies instead of golden eagles.

Update: found guilty, sentenced to life with minimum of 19 years. Unlikely to be released, considering he's now 77.

Can't sign the petition as they require permission to use the provided e-mail address to send details "about their work". Uncheck the box and you can't submit your "signature".
I support the petition but won't allow ongoing e-mails and too many "Unsubscribes" just don't work or have blocked unsubscribe links (because the sender is passing the mail list to 3rd parties of suspect reputation).

Goshawk killed in Derbyshire. Police waited more than three weeks before publicising this.

This case took more than two years to reach a conviction, and still awaits sentencing. Russell Mason, 49, lured the protected goshawk into a baited trap before battering it several times with a cosh to cause its agonising death. He's a gamekeeper, of course.
He was also found to have left nearly 200 rounds of live ammunition lying around in his bedroom and unsecured within his Polaris Ranger vehicle.
You may reach the conclusion that this guy is a bit of a w*nker, and you'd be right.
Mason was previously placed on the sex offenders register after being spotted carrying out a solo sex act in his car by a resident of a sheltered housing complex.
