Back to the List of Submissions Menu Back to the Written Evidence Menu Submission from the National Birds of Prey Centre February 12, 2000 Dear Lord Burns, I am writing to you re the inquiry that you are heading on Hunting. Although I do not hunt regularly, I have lived in the country almost all my life, I have had horses and have hunted, I have six labradors who will on occasion chase the odd rabit while out for a walk. I also have the largest and most successful collection of birds of prey in the world. I have written six books on the subject and recently recieved an MBE for services to bird conservation. You might wonder why then am I writing about hunting. We also partake in hunting in the form of falconry and we not only hunt ourselves, but we also take out members of the general public to see the birds work, hunt and kill their intended quarry, upwards of 500 individuals per year. We are often faced with people who start out by being rabidly anti fox hunting and indeed most forms of hunting but who, after seeing the birds work and on occasion kill, have a complete change of heart when seeing how hunting, at least with raptors, really works. I don't need to tell you that if fox hunting is banned tomorrow not one less fox will be killed. It is the method that people are concerned about. They don't understand the number of hounds used, the uniform worn, the people who partake or the reasons behind it. Apart from the fact that they consider it to be a class problem. Personally I have always thought that the sort of things golfers wear to be pretty odd, but have never been upset about it. Oddly though, people do seem to accept falconry much more readily, thinking that it is a fairer way of hunting. Which in fact it often is not.

At least three impressions. 'A compact, carefully edited, well-illustrated, and accurate description af nearly all aspects of contemporary American falconry with an unusually good historical introduction. Bodio is more successful in conveying the emotional content of falconry than any other author I have read, not even excepting T. H. White in "The Goshawk". He has far exceeded White in the breadth and scope of his experience and, I think, matches him in style and quality of writing. Anyone who wants to understand why falconry has managed to endure for four millennia can at least glimpse the reason by reading this book.' F. L.

And loathe as I am to admit it, I see their point - new shows based on old material have a built-in fanbase, and has the potential of reaching an entirely new audience. Yet remixing comics for a mass consumer audience is an uphill battle, as normally the built-in fanbase feels cheated by this watered-down version served to the general populace, who usually ignore the show anyways. Previous attempts show the ratio of misses far outstrips the hits in the category of superhero shows. For every DC cartoon like Batman or the current Justice League , there's the embarrassingly hokey Lois and Clark or I Was A Teenage Superman drama of Smallville .

These notes are considered necessary, particularly in today's political climate for field sports. In drawing attention to the protected species used in falconry, there is a risk of stimulating a demand for participation that cannot be satisfied. It is hoped that this leaflet will be helpful to both Show Organisers and Display Teams in setting out what is expected of those responsible for demonstrations.

Any publicity involving birds of prey has a potential for benefit and harm.. Benefit comes from increasing appreciation of birds of prey and the art of falconry. Harm comes from stimulating a desire to possess hawks in those who lack the time and expertise to look after them or who may try to obtain them illegally: or by showing birds in a condition that is detrimental to the birds and possibly to the viewing public.

Menu Home Information Forums Photo Gallery ... Birds Of Prey Birds of Prey Carcasses for Raptors The Scottish SPCS has warned hill farmers that they face prosecution if they take advice from the Scottish Wildlife Trust to leave carcasses unburied to attract birds of prey. This action means farmers would break the Animal Byproducts Order 1999, the Dogs Acts 1906 and ground water regulations which are monitored by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. SSPCA chief inspector Mike Flynn commented: " Scottish farming is currently in a deep financial crisis and the recommendations not to bury carcasses would have been attractive to hard-pressed farmers. Many farmers may have read the information and maybe thought it would be one way of saving some money. The information is incorrect and farmers should know that they must continue to bury their dead animals away from any water courses or face prosecution." While one appreciates the necessity for stating this, one can also appreciate the motive behind the SWT's advice. I have read the very same advice in American bird-watching magazines. In the mid-West, the staking out of whole carcasses of dead sheep and other animals to attract scavenging raptors is a regular tactic by bird watchers.
