Another White-tailed Sea Eagle poisoned

I've written about atrocities such as these previously on this blog.  This is only the most recent in an ever increasing number of mindless, incomprehensible acts of barbarity carried out against Ireland's birds of prey in recent years.

Until there is proper, robust legislation to protect our wildlife the perpetrators of these crimes will continue to carry them out safe in the knowledge that in the remote chance that they'll actually get caught the punishment isn't any sort of a deterrent.
