Here once again the RSPB CONservation hooligans have slaughtered
wildlife without any real justification. In their quest for a
genetically pure British Isles the RSPB have slaughtered or ordered
the slaughter of millions of animals ranging from the ruddy duck to
wild deer.
The RSPB are trying to do to wildlife, what the nazis failed to do to
Europe. They are conning it's members who think they donate to
"protect" wildlife, the taxpayer whilst getting fat on corporate
perks, the CEO rakes in £100,000 per annum in wages alone.

Fears for fate of rare feral goats
STEPHEN STEWART May 10 2004
THE future of the feral goat, one of Britain's rarest and oldest
breeds, is under threat after a cull on Loch Lomondside, campaigners
warned yesterday.
A research group examining the origin, history and current status of
British feral goat herds said officials from RSPB (Scotland) had
carried out a cull at Inversnaid, a nature reserve and site of special
scientific interest, (SSSI), on the east shore of the loch.
The RSPB culled 14 animals recently, but claimed it was adhering to
management guidelines about the control of the population.
Tracy Livingstone, Scottish area representative of the British Feral
Goat Research Group, said numbers of feral goats had fallen from about
4000 in 1993 to fewer than 400 today in Scotland.
"The Inversnaid goat management plan states that there should at all
times be 30 to 50 animals (in the area) but we believe the population
has dropped below 30," she said.
"The RSPB has said it has 27 goats but we doubt those figures and
intend to carry out a census.
"If this population is subject to a review and this has been altered,
then the review should be circulated for all to see.
"At the end of the management plan there is an emphasis on consulting
and liaising with people but this is not happening," she added.
"The RSPB has said the goats are damaging trees, but the numbers of
animals and the land size shows that the population is not
detrimental.
"We cannot see any justification for that number (culled), not
doubting the fact that there is large herbivore and goat damage to
trees – including damage by sheep, deer, bark stripping and browsing
of seedlings, which may prevent regeneration."
Mike Trubridge, area reserve officer at Inversnaid, said that the last
cull had destroyed 14 animals, but numbers were still within agreed
management guidelines.
"In 1986, we acquired a number of goats on the reserve. We have a
statutory obligation to manage the site and have to regulate the
control of both goats and deer," he said.
"People must get their facts straight. We conduct regular counts of
the goats, and last month there were 27 adults and five kids. This
gives us 32 animals, which is still within the recommendations."
However, Ms Livingstone said that the threat to the regeneration of
woodland, which was the main reason behind the cull, was not down to
goats.
She said: "Goats eat trees, although they mainly use trees for
shelter. It is futile for us to suggest they won't damage trees but if
they have traditional kidding and shelter areas in the trees it means
that the damage will be localised.
"Only by knowing the extent of the damage in relation to goat numbers
can you justify a certain population size.
"At present, the culling policy seems to be reactive and based on
limited knowledge. In fairness, hardly anybody has the type of
information they require, so then why did they not contact us when we
offered?
"RSPB has not justified why a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50 goats
(has been imposed)."
Ms Livingstone said that there were some 2.4 goats per hectare at
Inversnaid, over an area of 90 hectares of woodland and 284 hectares
of moorland.
She said the population was tiny and had no major detrimental effect
on habitat but provided an ancient base of animal that locals and
visitors go there to see.
The feral goat is said to be the breed that was brought to Britain by
the first farmers, and was kept by the builders of Stonehenge, before
changing hands constantly during the Anglo-Saxon invasion and Viking
raidings.

That's certainly mean and awful. Make sure
the P.O.W.s don't have women's panties over
their head. Double check to make sure that
none have to wear a hood over their heads with
electric wires simulating electric shock And don't
let them stay naked very long or you'll create an
international incident where everybody calls us
meanies and evil.

Goats are not humiliated by this.
They tend to eat clothing, for some reason.
