  I lived in an area with two buzzards, graceful birds, it was a pleasure to watch them. Pheasants by and large are a nuisance and I can almost guarantee that far far more are killed walking in front of cars in 1 year than by buzzards in a decade.

  Culling buzzards - unbelievable? Well no, not really... this 'Government' Department is yet again pandering to the wealthy UK elite which incorporates the Countryside Alliance, Large Estate Managers, Gamekeepers and anyone with vested corporate interests, a thirst for blood and an antiquated hunt mentality. The countryside is fast becoming the domain of the rich - so they will obviously want to lobby Government to protect their interests - at any expense.
  How can DEFRA target just buzzards anyhow? We have a multitude of birds of prey in this country - so where does this control stop?? I totally object to this obscene proposal and will do my utmost to make this plan as public as possible and subsequently stop it in it's tracks!

  This is cronyism of the worst kind. Benyon must go.

  There is a similar request (type Buzzard into search to find it). I have voted for this one but we need to combine the two somehow or else we will be splitting the vote.
