These are heartless people with no regard for the law or the love of wildlife. These cases make my blood boil. When are we going to set an example with one of them getting a hefty jail sentence?

Here is another example of a flawed system.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-60156311

Like is an inappropriate word, agree would be far better! Totally heartless and lacking of an understanding of nature!

Oh no, not again. The shooting fraternity really do need to sort these horrific incidents out once and for all! This one it seems has royal connections!

We love going to the Norfolk CAMH sites to enjoy the wildlife. Shame on the privileged Van Cutsems!

I think I can guess what will happen to this despicable person. Another atrocity! When will it end?

We go out into the countryside to enjoy the great outdoors, what drives them?

I was quite shocked to read that the gamekeeper involved is a 21year old man. 
I’d always assumed (wrongly obviously) that this attitude was just with older people, carrying on their traditional ways. 
Beyond belief  in 2022. 😱

Pliers,  it is not a 'new' case ~~ I understand that it is over 2 years old !!  So the Gamekiller was about 18 or so at the time.

This really makes it so much worse. The fact that a young man has been guided, mentored and supported in these despicable actions by shady others. As such he was deliberately abused by his elders, those in authority, those who show no decent and respectful role model and care little for him and more about their own hides. Dreadful!  as for the birds, well they in their eyes are just in the way of their ill gained profits.

The only way this is going to be stopped is from the top downwards as us "lower" people haven't had much luck in changing attitudes of the landowners.

Pressure needs to be brought to bear on the Royal family to shame Van Cutsem into changing what is obviously now inbred into him and his like. Until landowners are publicly shamed by the law by hugely significant fines and even prison for repeat offenders then I'm afraid nothing will change. Don't stop at prosecuting the gamekeepers as the owners almost certainly know exactly what is going on.
