Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
Police step up the battle against gangs killing wild animals in | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
Lincolnshire. They're driving across the fields | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
at night using high-velocity rifles, night-vision technology and heat- | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
seeking technology, as well. Cracking down on metal theft - one | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
council says it's seen a significant reduction. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
How people power could be harnessed to generate electricity. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
And the revival of vinyl as LPs come back in fashion. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
And it looks mild in the run-up to Christmas. Join me for the latest | :00:40. | :00:50. | |

Police say armed gangs with high- powered rifles are spreading fear | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
though rural communities in Lincolnshire. They shoot wild | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
animals for sport or for food. There have had more than 600 | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
reported cases in the last four months of hare coursing - an | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
outlawed practice where hares are chased and killed by dogs. Simon | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Spark is live with this story in the village of Nettleham near | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
Lincoln. Simon, this isn't a new crime, but how concerned are | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
:01:30. | :01:31. | ||
police? The of they are concerned and the figures that you put do | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
sound horrific. They also are based on the weather we had last year | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
which was very bad and not us many cases were reported. But they are a | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
worry for farmers and also for villages like the ones here. Here, | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
we have more damage caused overnight. They were shooting as | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
they went around the corner. It's another farm in another battle | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
against rural crime. This time, trespassers coming onto land to | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
shoot, maim and kill any wildlife they can. Anything that has moved | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
has been shot at. General of damage to gateposts, chains broken, block | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
smashed, anything to get them into the land. This latest incident was | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
on the land of Christmas tree grower William Rose, but it's a | :02:25. | :02:33. | |
common problem for many farmers. They are driving across the fields | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
at night, using a high-velocity rifle, night vision goggles and | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
heat-seeking technology as well. They callously leave the carcasses, | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
the dead bodies on the ground, really. They are not doing it for | :02:48. | :02:54. | |
food, they are just doing it for the hell of it. It adds to a | :02:54. | :03:02. | |
growing list of major crimes in recent months. During a nine-month | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
period last year, 40 tractors were stolen from farms. In September | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
this year, 1,400 sheep were stolen from Stenigot near Louth, and | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
another 23 were taken from Epworth just this month. And between 1st | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
August and 5th December, 630 hare coursing incidents were reported to | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Lincolnshire police. And they too are getting equipped. Special | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
vehicles with numberplate recognition cameras and night | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
vision are helping but vigilance and working together is still a | :03:21. | :03:30. | |
main defence. It is not just about me trying to combat it on my own, | :03:30. | :03:38. | |
it is about working together and working with the local fans -- | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
farmers and the landowners and the gatekeepers. | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
Simon, what are the police doing to reassure people? You could say they | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
are casting their net wider, they are collaborating with other forces | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
to gather intelligence and of course, they are gathering help | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
from farmers. Earlier in the month, one farmer factory called a meeting | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
with the police and another 50 farmers turned up in support to | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
raise their concerns. From that, they have managed to start up a | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
scheme were they all liaise with each other and talk to each other. | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
A lot of these gangs are coming in from other counties and better | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
something that is dangerous, obviously, to tackle head on with | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
the weapons that they have and also, with the intelligence they can | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
gather from farmers and other forces, they can use that to help | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
bring them to justice. I'm joined by Louise Robertson from | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
the League Against Cruel Sports which campaigns against hare | :04:41. | :04:51. | |
coursing. Good evening. Why should we be so concerned about hare | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
coursing? This is a barbaric form of animal cruelty. Fees are not | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
people accurately, a cross hairs and allowing their dogs to chase | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
them. These are organised gangs of criminals killing wildlife just for | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
the sake of it. The members of the public are aware of this, and then | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
as reported to the police. Some will say this isn't a blood sport | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
but actually, a traditional activity that has gone on in the | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
countryside for a long time. Hare coursing, organised traditional | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
hare coursing is illegal and the types of hare coursing we are | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
seeing now is illegal and must be reported to the police. Often, the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
people carrying out these types of activities are often involved in | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
other sorts of crimes. When you hear that it is not for food or | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
anything else but just for fun or just for the hell of it, how does | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
that make you feel? It makes me livid, it is horrific that people | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
can inflict cruelty on animals and get pleasure out of it. It is also | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
worrying for the people living in these communities that these | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
individuals are going out in the dead of night with lethal weapons. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
How seriously do the police take such crimes when it is in the | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
middle of the night? I think the police take it very seriously. The | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
number of incidents that have been reported is very encouraging. Often, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
these sorts of crimes to go under- reported because of the remote | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
places they are happening in and the fact that they are taking place | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
at night but we are seeing joined up working from police forces those | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
that these criminals are being prosecuted and brought to justice | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
for what they are doing. Thank you. Can the police stop the gangs | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
killing wild animals in the county? What is the impact on the rural | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
areas? What measures should be taken to deal with crime in those | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
parts of the county? Your thoughts on this one if you like to get in | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
:07:07. | :07:15. | ||
In a moment: The children getting messages from | :07:15. | :07:24. | |
the Middle East because their The world's biggest security firm, | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
G4S, has won a �200 million contract to run office departments | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
at Lincolnshire Police. 500 civilian staff could be affected in | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
the police control centre and several other departments could be | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
privately run when the deal is finally concluded. Chief officers | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
say it will save millions of pounds, but secure jobs. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
A man from Hull has been remanded in custody after being charged with | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
the rape of a ten-year-old girl almost 30 years ago. Magistrates | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
heard how 49-year-old Michael Acey was arrested after detectives re- | :07:55. | :08:01. | |
opened the case. Police say new DNA evidence has come to light. Michael | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Acey will appear before Hull Crown Court in the New Year. | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
A woman has broken down in tears in the witness box, as she told | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Lincoln Cown Court why she'd murdered her partner. 43-year-old | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Julie Dixon has been giving evidence in a hearing to decide why | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
she killed David Twigg. The 46- year-old was locked in a cupboard | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
before his business in Burgh Le Marsh near Skegness was set on fire. | :08:29. | :08:39. | |
:08:39. | :08:44. | ||
and joins me now. What did Julie Dixon say? She started by answering | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
the most important question. Julie Dixon's Barrister asked "why | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
did you strike the match and start the fire?" She replied "I was going | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
along with the plans we'd already made and to go along with his | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
wishes." Asked "Whose idea was it that David Twigg should die in a | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
fire? Julie Dixon replied: "David's" Her Barrister asked: "For | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
about how long had David been talking about suicide?" Ms Dixon | :09:06. | :09:14. | |
said "Probably since he heard about the bankruptcy." David Twigg | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
:09:25. | :09:32. | ||
declared bankrupt last year. Julie Dixon's family - see here - | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
listened as she said that over seven years, the couple had | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
borrowed almost �400,000 to pay off business debts and bills. She said | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
he'd known about the debts for past four years and she had never taken | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
money from the business for herself. She said Mr Twigg was "distraught" | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
when he was made bankrupt, but despite that the couple had gone on | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
to spend two thousand pounds on a holiday in America. Julie Dixon | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
originally claimed David Twigg had been attacked by masked men, before | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
changing her story to say they'd made a suicide pact. The hearing | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
continues tomorrow. North Lincolnshire has seen a | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
significant reduction in metal thefts. Humberside Police figures | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
show that during two weeks in June there were 72 reported thefts of | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
metal in that area. Six months on the latest figures show just 15 | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
thefts. Scrap metal dealers have been working more closely with the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
police and local council. This scrap metal merchants in | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Scunthorpe has always tried to turn away metal they suspect is stolen. | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
But taking a stand is sometimes not easy. Some who were accepted and | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
walk away but we have been threatened. It can be quite | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
frightening. But Steve is among a number of dealers who've signed up | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
to a new scheme with Humberside Police and North Lincolnshire | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
Council. Any new customers, will start asking from ID. It has got to | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
stop asking -- stop people selling stolen metal. Metal theft is a | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
widespread problem. In East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire we've | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
seen churches lose their lead and cables snatched from substations | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
and railway lines. In North Lincolnshire, they seen a downward | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
trend in thefts and say it's down to a number of initiatives. We have | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
been increasing the amount of visible patrol. We have been | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
targeting the offenders. We have been doing awareness raising and | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
perhaps most importantly, working together with the scrapyards so | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
that we are working together so they can help us to try to | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
eliminate the way of disposing of this type of metal. But local | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
initiatives, while apparently successful, can only go so far. | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
British Transport Police now set- aside from terrorism, metal theft | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
is now the biggest concern. A group of MPs are pushing for need | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
legislation to bring in a national licensing scheme for dealers. | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Honest dealers simply want a level playing field and hope that local | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
initiatives like this one will help bring this about. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Bosses at BAE Systems in Brough are believed to be looking at ways of | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
redeploying their workforce in the green energy sector. The aircraft | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
manufacturing site faces being mothballed with the loss of almost | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
900 jobs. Management at the defence giant have told local MPs they're | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
:12:20. | :12:20. | ||
looking at other options for staff facing redundancy. I think the fact | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
that the Humber could become a hub for renewables is quite important | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
in this debate and we need to look at the possibilities that that | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
opens up. There is potential, there, as well. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Passengers on a ferry into Hull arrived more than four hours late | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
this morning. The Pride of York was unable to use the King George Dock | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
terminal because of a broken lock gate. The vessel eventually docked | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
at the Rotterdam quay in the Humber just before midday. P&O Ferries say | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
tonight's sailing to Rotterdam could also be delayed by up to an | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :13:00. | ||
Still ahead tonight: How we could soon be making every step we take a | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
step towards saving the planet. And the return of retro music players | :13:09. | :13:19. | |

as vinyl sees an increase in If you have a big you are proud of, | :13:20. | :13:29. | |
send it in. -- if you have a picture. Tim Everett says this is a | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
low light shot, and he is trying to bring some class to defer to a slot. | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
We do not mediate, but thank you very much for that! -- we do not | :13:40. | :13:50. | |

Someone says, where does Paul Hudson get his Beenham shirts from? | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
-- doing home shirts from. Let's look at a headline. It is a mild | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
one. Temperatures are in double figures, and it looks like that | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
will last through tomorrow. Christmas Day looks very mild | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
:14:22. | :14:23. | ||
indeed. No chance of a white Christmas. We are in a warm sector. | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Tomorrow will see temperatures around 11 degrees. There has been a | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
lot of cloud. Some subtle breaks in the cloud sheet. I think this | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
evening and overnight will be dry it with variable amounts of cloud. | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
There will be some clear spells. Certainly, a mad and frost-free | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
night, with temperatures down to eight Celsius -- a mild and frost- | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:01. | ||
free night. The sun will rise at 8:17am, setting at 3:42pm. A dry | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
:15:12. | :15:14. | ||
day tomorrow with a variable amounts of cloud. Some spells of | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
sunshine a possible, and some quiet -- some quite nice temperatures. We | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
:15:31. | :15:33. | ||
are looking at 10 in Hull Garbutt 11 in Lincoln, Grimsby and towards | :15:33. | :15:42. | |
Boston -- 10 in Hull, but 11 in Lincoln. Christmas Day looks cloudy | :15:42. | :15:52. | |
:15:52. | :15:57. | ||
I was humiliated yesterday. Somebody said, poll has a day off, | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
has he done to get your fake tan? Scientists at University of Hull | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
think they may have found new ways to harness human energy. It would | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
mean every step we take is helping to save the planet. Caroline Bilton | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
has more. It is a typical rush-hour at York railway station, where | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
thousands of commuters are hurrying to get to their next destination. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Approximately 11 million people pass through this station every | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
single year. With every step they take, they generate up to six Watts. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
At the moment, that his energy that is wasted, but what if that could | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
be collected in some way and used to power things, like display | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
screens, audio systems and even the light? It is something Jim Gilbert | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
from University of Hull has spent years working on. How on earth | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
could we use humans in a train station to generate energy? There | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
are lots of people around, all moving, and if we can take a bit of | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
energy from each of those people, and put it together, we get a | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
useful amount of energy. We do not need to take large rebate to make a | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
useful contribution. Do you need to have a constant food for? You can | :17:25. | :17:33. | |
store energy. -- constant foot fall. One man who shot the -- one man has | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
are the potential of human energy was Trevor Bayliss, famous for | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
inventing the wind-up radio. They invented issue that could charge | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
your mobile as you walk. -- a shoe. We developed a device that fits in | :17:48. | :17:56. | |
the bottom of the shoe. When you walk, it stores energy. You could | :17:56. | :18:04. | |
charge your mobile phone, and I part -- and iPod, any electrical | :18:04. | :18:12. | |
device. At that idea was sadly ruined after September 11th. | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
idea of harvesting energy, however, is not new. This company in Israel | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
has developed a system to use vibrations from passing cars and | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
trains to generate power. Back at Hull University, Jim is working on | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
a staircase that can generate energy with every step you take. | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
That movement converts to electrical energy. We have a lot of | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
work to do to find out how much force people can apply to it, make | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
it comfortable and reduce the nice, and make it so people do not notice | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
their giving energy into their system. -- reduce the noise. It is | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
one of the number of ideas that the team are working on. The staircase | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
is far from Venice, but there is a lot of Minister -- there is a lot | :18:56. | :19:05. | |
of interest in it. Harvesting energy from our movements and | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
vibrations and is to be cost- effective, but the research being | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
carried out at Hull University maybe a small step towards saving | :19:12. | :19:22. | |
:19:22. | :19:24. | ||
the planet. Fascinating. At now, for five-year- | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
old Phoebe Birney, hearing a recorded message from her mother | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
will be an early Christmas present. Claire Birney is serving with the | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
RAF in the Middle East, and is one of many parents who have sent a | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
special CD home for Christmas. Tarah Welsh reports from RAF | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
:19:53. | :19:54. | ||
Waddington. She has got brown hair, blue eyes, she sometimes wears | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
earrings. Claire Birney has been working away from October. She will | :20:01. | :20:08. | |
not be home for Christmas, but has sent her daughter his special gift. | :20:08. | :20:18. | |
:20:18. | :20:19. | ||
She is rarely far away. That is why she sent me a little story. I hope | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
everything is OK. Through this initiative, Claire professionally | :20:25. | :20:33. | |
recorded a story for her daughter. 50 other parents at RAF Waddington | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
have done the same. It is quite difficult sometimes. It is very | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
emotional. You can stab the recorder with a personal message to | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
your child or children. -- you can start the recording. They realise | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
they will not be with their children. Then they record the | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
story. Phoebe's dad is making sure it will be a good Christmas. He | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
said the surprise recording makes it extra special. The CD comes in | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
the post, and it is to her. I managed to pick it up and give it | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
to hair. It was really nice. I could listen to her voice. Cloud | :21:17. | :21:23. | |

These well on the verge of extinction. Now, thanks to the | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
dedication of wildlife experts and Lincolnshire, the dormouse is | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
enjoying a revival. When Crompton has been to Chambers Woods Farm | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
near Horncastle. It is nearly a decade since his dormice were | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
reintroduced into the wild hero Chambers Farm Wood, and they have | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
been going from strength to strength. This box has been used, | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
and we have found some mice here. Dormouse are rarely seen as they | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
are nocturnal and hibernate for over half the year. Ecologist | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
Adrienne Bennett says they are still able to unlock how many are | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
living here. We have a series of boxes and a series of troops. We | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
check them every month through the year. -- a series of troops. Using | :22:18. | :22:25. | |
these checks, we report any mice we find. We can compare that from year | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
on year. The in 2002, 32 dormouse were released here. Since then, the | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
population has been growing. Ecologists here say it has been a | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
bumper year. The mice were released in this area here. Anne Goodhall is | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
a volunteer who has been caring father mice since they were | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
released. We went round in August and found 20 mice. That was a | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
record. Each month, we seem to double it. The project has been so | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
successful that the team are hoping to introduce a similar population | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
near by. Digital download may be on the | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
increase as music CD sales fall, but it seems that vinyl has not had | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
its day just yet. Sales have increased by 40 % so far this year. | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
One record shop in Hull says that the revival is being driven by | :23:25. | :23:35. | |
:23:35. | :23:40. | ||
young people. Sarah Corker has been Christmas 1987. That was the last | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
time vinyl and sold CDs, and the Pet Shop Boys were number one with | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
this classic. Now, it looks like a record is making a comeback. Always | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
On My mind... This music shop owner says people of all ages aback by in | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
vinyl. I average customer age has fallen to about 25 -- my average | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
customer age. My oldest customer is 86. 17-year-old Helena became | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
hooked after listening to her father's collection. I come up here | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
every few weeks, and bright end up with a stack of vinyl. It is | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
addictive. It is the satisfaction of having something in your hands | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
that you do not get with Internet downloads. For many, nothing quite | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
compares to the first time you drop that needle. People are discovering | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
older music in their family's collection. There may be becoming | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
fond of there snap, crackle and pop that final gives. Having listened | :24:54. | :25:01. | |
to this. -- that vinyl gives. have got a few friends who have | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
started buying it. I think people appreciate music more than what | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
they used to. I think it is seen as retro. Lady GaGa is even getting in | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
on the action. There we are. The revival of vinyl. | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
Some news just in. Is this the oldest Christmas tree of any Look | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
North viewer? Derek Upfield says history is as old as he is, 77. It | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
survived the Blitz, and the flood of 2007, and still even holds some | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
of the original decorations bought by his parents in the 1930s. It has | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
sentimental value. I cannot throw it away after all these years. | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
There we are. That is Derek and history, 77 years old. -- Derek and | :26:06. | :26:10. | |

the battle against gangs killing Response coming in on the subject | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
of the killing of wild animals after our discussion. Somebody says, | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
armed police should apprehend these people, take their firearms and | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
animals away from them and send them to prison for a long time. | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
Dave said, perhaps that the punishment was more severe, it | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
might make a difference. All equipment should be put in the | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
