  • Couldn't agree more! And 220 million other animals (amphibians, small mammals) are estimated to be killed aswell... There are only about 1400 Peregrines in the UK compared to 10 million cats!

  • also to you i missed a good debate here,the whole planet is in the shit,cos of MAN me included and your self and anyone who can read this cos thay got internet ,electric housed ect ect,but hey we are all just rabling ,nature will decide who stays and who goes in the long run ,and it is the human RACE so we better start running .thanks for comment good debate

  • well i,ve missed a chat here,we got all raptors where i live ,CATS kill 9,000,000,000,birds in the UK every year,thanks for your comments

  • Agreed on that! And in areas where eco-systems are being affected by creatures other than man, it's usually humans that 'induced' the inbalance in the first place - and created favourable conditions for such species to thrive at the expense of others.

  • humans are doing more damage to all wildlife more than any specie of predator in any echo system

  • (lastly)... And to be honest, it's just tough luck if you lose a semi-domesticated cagebird. I don't think I've ever heard of a Pigeon Fanciers Anti-Peregrine Campaign either but if there is one then it's farcical. It would be like downhill skiers forming an 'Anti-Ice Union' or something! Don't like it? Get another hobby! Like birdwatching real birds that live in the wild!... Like Peregrines! Regards.

  • ... and there is thus an overall surge in the population of many species, both pseudo-wild and fully wild, like woodpigeon. Free range chickens and gamebirds do not suffer from significant numbers of Peregrine attacks, in fact, I'm sure many more are lost as roadkill. The apex predator for homing/racing pigeons, I agree, should be Peregrine. But that should just be an occupational hazard for following such a hobby.
