Just been reading Airgunner Magazine,June 2006. An article by Ian Barnett.Who was asked,and I quote, 'to shoot a family of Magpie's of a Cows back' Amazed I read on,and I quote again, 'they were feeding of a raw abscess on the poor animals tail!' I hate Magpie's as much as the next person,but should'nt the cow have been brought in,or at least treated by someone.Should the Airgun Hunter,Mr. Barnett have not 'done something' about this? I can see its a tricky one,not wanting to upset the Farmer, and losing a shoot,but I do feel sorry for the Cow.I'v tried e-mailing their Letters page,but its not working,To enquire if the shot was taken while the Magpie was still on the cows back! They have a young readership,and I think the whole article stinks.
