I actually think that employing lawyers to fight the falcon menace will be
futile, and as has already been mentioned lining the pockets of legal
representation on a no win situation will be almost as bad as loosing birds
to the falcon, in my opinion.
But I think the suggestion that fanciers could have birds pre-baited with
noxious substances and used as a part of a decoy system is a good one. I
accept some might fly little daylight hours in training and prefer longer
dark training so as to minimise the daylight attacks, but come competition
or testing days the birds still have to fly the daylight hours therefore
birds are vulnerable to attacks in any case.
If every fancier in the falcon populated areas had birds baited with noxious
substances, and flew these birds during the non training days, maybe that
might control the situation??? anything is worth considering otherwise the
sport as we know it will be finished probably sooner that we think.
