Eagles Unwelcome Here?

The introduced White-tailed eagle, found dead in Dorset (SW England), was poisoned with the rodenticide brodifacoum (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/29/dead-eagle-found-in-dorset-was-poisoned-but-case-closed-police-confirm). The local police have confirmed the poisoning but say that no further action will be taken. They also refuse to name the estate (there is an obvious contender), on which the dead bird was found. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds claim to be 'baffled'. Perhaps, the police decisions are linked to the comments of the local Member of Parliament (MP), who declared eagles 'unwelcome in Dorset'? That MP also suggested the police should not 'waste their time' looking for the eagle's killers.
