DEFRA’s
new general bird kill licence scheme allows licence holders to return to a
business-as-usual approach, according to countryside groups
The
department issued the new licences in mid-June, two months after
Natural England axed the old regime in the face of legal action from legal
outfit Wild Justice, which said the licences were unlawful.
Conservationist
and Wild Justice co-founder Mark Avery told ENDS that licence holders will have
returned to the methods they were using prior to Natural England’s revocation,
and questioned whether DEFRA and Natural England, “have actually got around the
legal problems the regulator admitted they had when they revoked the licences
in the first place.''
