Feltham, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- According to Scottish Land and Estates, figures of crime against wildlife in the country seem to be falling. This is from reflecting over the figures of the annual wildlife crime report 2013-14, as well as related data. This has been received positively by many, including air gun retailers such as Just BB guns, who promote the safe and legal use of air weapons – whilst being firmly against the illegal poaching of animals.

In previous years both Scotland and England saw high numbers of incidents involving the illegal poaching of animals. This led to a lot of blame being, sometimes wrongly, placed on air gun manufacturers. It was assumed that people were buying air guns in the UK and using them against nature in illegal ways.

However, following the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, with these events providing an illustration that the guns can be part of a constructive and disciplined sport, attitudes are changing. The fact that wildlife offences are also falling in Scotland emphasizes that positive and important process is being made to preserve nature too.

Quick to comment on the issue was Just BB guns, a leading provider of air weapons and accessories, often used in sport. They are experts in the field and frequent commenters on industry news. A spokesperson had this to say:

"We think that is brilliant that wildlife crime in Scotland is falling, after all, we advocate the constructive and safe use of air guns, and we don't condone any use of them illegally against wildlife. It is good to see that this kind of attitude seems to be growing and that positive progress is being made. Air guns can be used as part of a great sport which doesn't involve harm to anything – like target practice which takes great skill."
