RSPB Bird Crime Report
"Between 2009 and 2023, the RSPB has recorded 1,529 confirmed incidents, involving the illegal persecution of at least 1,344 birds of prey. These include vulnerable and recovering species such as Hen Harriers, White-tailed Eagles, Golden Eagles, Red Kites and Goshawks.
The majority of these incidents are associated with land managed for gamebird shooting where some individuals deliberately target birds of prey to try to maximise the number of gamebirds available to shoot for sport and profit."
It's only sport if the quarry can shoot back.
