LETTER OF THE WEEK
It’s our collective duty
What a wonderful article by Mike Swan (We must never, 22 February), and how refreshing to hear from someone who ‘gives a damn’ about wounding. For years I have had to endure the chest-beating prowess of “what a fantastic shot” and “did you see that pigeon”, with nothing mentioned or even considered about the dozen birds wounded before a lucky pellet hit a vital organ or broke a wing. When did we actually stop caring about wounded birds?
