I don't supposer this is quite the right place for this, but, well, it seems as good as place as any other given the way converstaion has gone in this thread
I was directed to this link, and thought some here might want to comment....
clicky
Calm down, calm down...he only posted a link!
Of course there are bad people in the profession....as there are in most professions (just look at the bankers...) and it is good to see some of them being brought to justice!
Unless a post has gone missing I don't think there was any intent meant..just an article to aide discussion
Disgraceful quite honestly. However, there's no way that is typical of shooters or of keepers - quite the contrary in fact. There's rotten apples in every barrel.
A few years ago, one of the best clay shooters this country has ever produced, olympic/national standard, was caught with a freezer full of every protected species you can imagine, with which he was supplying the taxidermy trade. he was dealt with severely by the courts, but the outright condemnation of the shooting community afterwards, meant he was barred from the CPSA, (Clay Pigeon Shooters Association) which meant that his clay shooting career was over at any meaningful level.
The vast majority of shooters are true conservationists in a very real sense, often far more so than their armchair critics.
You tar all with the same brush then?
Afterall, it was reported in the media,so it must be true against all who are employed in this field?
Have you any idea what you are talking about?
Have you any idea the slurs you are casting against people who deserve better?
Or are you clueless?
