Man charged after deer shot in Dagnam Park

Bleak Ridge is a family-run business, selling country clothing and workwear
Now I am fascinated by this. Can you point me in the direction of the legislation? I would love to know who wrote it.

When did you leave the police force? I suspect things may well have changed during Alison Saunders regime. The CPS have nothing to lose by playing poker.

As you are in Denmark, it doesn't apply to you perhaps.

That's only for the last few years and I still shoot in the UK. We have more than our fair share of rules here also including not bludgeoning animals to death. I was just curious.

That's a bird, not an animal.

The term Animal is a broad term, and includes many species of living things, inc birds, fish... etc.
Whilst the term is often used informally to be akin to mammal, if it's used in a legal document, it will mean the broad definition.
(See Wikipedia - The word "animal" comes from the Latin animalis, meaning having breath, having soul or living being. The biological definition includes all members of the kingdom Animalia. In colloquial usage, as a consequence of anthropocentrism, the term animal is sometimes used nonscientifically to refer only to non-human animals.)

I don't think it's anything to do with the EU. It's just seen as an immoral way of killing animals unless it is to put them out of their misery. The law exists to stop morons from going out and trying to kill animals with clubs and sticks.
 
Again, I'm taking this thread further from the OP, but I'm still interested in any link to the legislation referred to.

If it applies to birds also, then how does the practice of knocking magpies/crows caught in larsens fit into the legal framework?

Don’t think one will be provided because it isn’t against the law.
Feel free anybody to prove me wrong with a link to specific legislation.

Always interesting when people refer to legislation but then can't reference it, I think you are wrong as a priest is a widely accepted method of dispatching small game, in fact a Priest 'small cosh' is detailed as part of the pest controller's kit bag in the BASC's 'THE POLICE OFFICER’S GUIDE TO SHOOTERS'
