Cases linked to the Sandringham estate in Norfolk include alleged poisoning and shooting of some of the UK’s rarest birds of prey .... what a surprise .... not!
The Guardian - Royal estate linked to many deaths and disappearances of protected birds
The king’s private country estate at Sandringham in Norfolk has been linked to the deaths and disappearances of a string of legally protected birds over the past 2 decades, a Guardian investigation has found.
The cases include the alleged poisoning, shooting and disappearance of some of the UK’s rarest birds of prey. One of the cases involved the mysterious loss of eastern England’s last breeding female Montagu’s Harrier, a critically endangered species whose future in the UK is now looking bleak.
The Guardian has identified 18 cases since 2003 involving suspected wildlife offences or the alleged misuse of poisons which are linked to the royal estate and neighbouring farmland owned by the king.
There are so many legitimate and well-evidenced reasons to get rid of the archaic, unaccountable and undemocratic monarchy and royal family and this is just another one.
