WILD JUSTICE NEWS LETTER No. 68 refers to GENERAL LICENCES in Northern Ireland and makes comments about the support Wild Justice receives from us, the people who care and at times the wider public.
My particular interest is regarding previous letters and blogs recording the picture and article in the Shooting Times.
Wild Justice says this;
Shooting Times article: in our last newsletter we told you about the article that was published in the Shooting Times last February which we believed described events which contravened the terms of the general licences. And we brought you the news that the author of the article had told the police that the article was false in some respects and that the Carrion Crow and Jay involved had actually emerged from his freezer. We contacted the Shooting Times and, to be fair to them, they were prompt in responding and have told us they will print a correction in this week's magazine. We have asked to see that correction to judge whether or not it is adequate but we haven't seen it yet and publication of this weekly magazine is imminent, so this matter may not be at an end - we'll let you know. We also wrote a light-hearted blog about the original article but it is a serious matter as the last paragraph of the blog makes clear.
NOTE FROM ME
I am on way to England where I will buy a copy of (perhaps more than one) of this shooters magazine. Not to support them but to keep myself up-to-date with matters shooting in U.K. I am putting together a collection of poems and short stories which is my take on wildlife crime, grouse moors, overuse of insecticides and more. It is a passion that I have. But times are changing and when I write I have to move with those changes. It’s an ongoing process
