The amount of game birds they release is insane. Hundreds of eagles would barely make a difference. A lot of the game keepers just enjoy killing.Rare white-tailed eagle disappearance investigated by police

It’s also because they’re completely wedded to the past too - the only good predator is a dead predator.
some guy got secret filmed and taken to court last week (captured a big bird of prey in a cage and stoved it's head in with a club), slap on wrist and fine. It's the same reason badger baiting and hare coursing can't be stopped, there is no will to do it.

It’s almost impossible to stop due the remote areas it takes place, the vastness and the highly secretive nature of s lot of people involved.
I once went on a “ rabbit shoot “ with my mate in rural East York’s and they shot everything that the dogs put up, rabbits, birds, a fox.
It made me feel dirty and very angry afterwards, but apparently that’s the way it is out in those parts and I knew nothing, as I was a city boy.
The only way they get caught, is by undercover stuff or grasses / both.

F me, Goshawks hardly ever take game birds either, as they’re specialised woodland hunters - massive Sparrowhawks !
I'd have broken his legs, but I'm miles out of whack with societal norms. Cest la vie.
