'Stop Cull' activist Jay Tiernan stated: “re is something sinister in creating a pond to show your green credentials only to slaughter birds that come to use it because you don’t like bird poo on your lawn. ir planning applic­ation in part hinged on benefits of development to wildlife. So to n go and kill geese is shocking. It’s a terrible act of hypocrisy. Let wild be wild. Nature should be allowed to flourish and organisations like FA should lead way with a far more holistic approach.”
