🦅Thanks to keen-eyed locals who reported Moscar gamekeepers skulking about with live birds in traps. Masked, armed men patrol the Peak District National Park, which is *incidentally* a hotspot for wildlife crime. Be vigilant! Corvid traps are regularly used in raptor persecution

➰Snares set in snow and freezing weather in Peak District National Park. ❄️Snares should never be used 'if forecasted weather conditions are likely to cause poor welfare'. 🦊Victims suffer hypothermia, injuries and terror before being shot. 📸Please monitor urgently for suffering wildlife.

A Raven was found shot near Agden Side Road, Bradfield, in the #PeakDistrict. Do you have any information that could help the Police in their investigation? It is believed the bird was shot between 24-25 August. Ravens are a protected species - to shoot one is a crime.

Raven found shot dead next to grouse moor in notorious Peak District raptor persecution hotspot. S. Yorkshire Police take 3.5 months to appeal for witnesses. No surprise that illegal killing continues in this part of the National Park. New blog ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2024/12/11/rav…

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere. The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back. A day I mark in my mind much more than Christmas or New Year. Fiat lux! 📷 by

Well done to Hunt Saboteurs Association and Channel 4 News for exposing this! How many other police forces are protecting bloodsports industries? We've seen similar bias on shooting estates. Wildlife needs all the protection we can offer, up against corruption like this🦊 youtube.com/watch?v=bDL7mO…
