Reservations About 'Conservation'

There has been a lot of media support on 'The One Show' by Mike Dilger  for the activities of Mrs Tiggy-winkles hospital for 'wildlife casualties' (http://www.sttiggywinkles.org.uk/).

I do think that people operating in this fashion ought to think very clearly about what they are really doing (the fact that humans caused the problem can't be the only justification).
