pete forging again

I am not pete. But, even if I was, that's no excuse to dodge the
question.
Do try to answer it. It seems a reasonable question to me. Here it is
again. "How would you enforce a hunt ban?"

pete is the one forging my post. Because he makes such a bog of it, I often
don't see his attempts, in this case I only saw your reply.

Me, I don't think there should be a hunt ban

There are now so many double Xs in this thread that I am unable to find
the bit I wanted to follow up....

It crossed my mind that banning the rearing and release of game birds
would create a situation where existing shoots are forced to pay more
attention to the control of vermin in order to retain *wild* game. This
may be good for conservation in that more land may be used for *cover*
but may also lead to further protective controls.

Er, I'm not sure this would be good for conservation.

Firstly there would be a big temptation to shoot raptors.
Secondly to shoot egg-eating birds/squirrels etc.
Thirdly rats etc, which are also food for raptors.
Fourthly Mr reynard would face extermination in some areas.
Fifthly outside feeders may be banned, these feed wild animals too.

Sounds a **really** bad move.

Hmmm....
Cover can soon be made into an inviolate conservation area that cannot
be disturbed.

Me, cynical? Whyever should that be?
