This is the most insane proposal. Licensed falconers do not need to live capture wild raptors. They can and should breed there own. (Mind you I am totally against falconry). Some raptors have enough problems to overcome without some idiot capturing them. Read more

In your proposal you suggest that falconry has a neutral impact on wild populations. I would like to suggest that falconry has a positive impact by acting as ambassadors for raptors. Many raptors are shot annually, many by hunters. Read more

REALLY!! In this day and age can we not leave these raptors to enjoy the freedom of the wild? Why does mankind think they have the right to remove these beautiful creatures from their natural habitat for their personal gain. It just isn't right. Read more

Falconers have for thousands of years been on the forefront of conservations of birds of prey as it is inextricably intertwined with the sport. Expanded take will mean expanded conservation and education for and of these raptors. Read more
