Couldn't agree more....anyone convicted of illegal killing should go to prison.
I would however like to see a licensing system whereby I can shoot buzzards in order to protect my red squirrels. Buzzards are not endangered. Or ravens to protect my curlews. The mechanism exists but the authorities won't use it.

Lots of Curlews, Oystercatchers, Hares, and other "threatened" species around my way too - Bowland Fells and their margins. Guess what, it's all heavily keepered ground.
