interesting to see if this succeeds in getting a prosecution – it so rarely does i am not holding my breath. if successful will try to find out why as all others seem to fail. still trying to find out the secret to successful case. if anyone knows the answer pls let me know
These people should be self isolating so why are they continuing to carry on turning out to slaughter our wildlife. Are they that twisted and evil. They should be prosecuted as any one else would be.
