'This is an important book. It is written by an expert who probably
knows more about wildlife crime in the UK, and especially in
Scotland, than anyone else. It is important because so little is
known and understood about a widespread and deeply disturbing
illegal practice...' Extract from Foreword by Sir John Lister-Kaye,
OBE Through the professional life of Dave Dick, the RSPB's Senior
Scottish Investigation Officer between 1984 and 2006, the often
murky world of wildlife crime is revealed. This is the first book
that faces up to the realities of the often unsuccessful efforts by
the justice system in its attempt to stop these crimes. Unflinching
accounts of the shocking levels of killing and the cruel and
callous nature of the killers are related. However black comedy and
lighter moments prevent this being just another catalogue of man's
inhumanity to nature with personal accounts of the thrill and joy
of watching some of our most beautiful birds and animals in their
equally beautiful landscapes. The author examines the motives of
both criminals and their pursuers in an attempt to show the truth
of what has become a highly-charged and politicised topic.He
reveals the truth of what is happening in some corners of our
countryside, where the public may be discouraged to tread and hopes
to inform a more reasoned debate on the topic. This timely and
inevitably controversial book lifts the lid on the pressures faced
by some of our most iconic wildlife species which are being shot,
trapped and poisoned.
