And were given an even worse time in the past being slaughtered to
extinction in the UK and for a price.
It makes a complete mockery of conservation and brings it all in to
serious disrepute. The ponces that have infected CONservation today
have a lot to answer for, as do the village idiots who blindly
sup****ted them.
Millions of pounds in tax payers money has lined the pockets of the
CONservation hooligans and a mere pittance in comparison actually gets
to the front line.
Crooks used to rob banks or mug people and you could see them a mile
off. Now in their sharp suits and ivory towers it's hard to
distinguish who's robbing who.
