UK Government promotes egg collecting for profit!

.
Heritage Action has a post on the utilisation of the Portable Antiquities Scheme to promote an upcoming sale:
Anyone that is indignant or incredulous that their taxes are being used to promote the seeking of national assets for personal gain and the positive encouragement of such a desperately crass, low-brow, uncultured, anti-society process should read this.
Now Government promotes egg collecting for profit! 24/06/2012 

I think the idea is that any organization with even a smidgen of respect for public opinion would normally demonstrate that by explaining where the difference between collecting items ripped from a finite and fragile resource differs from the collecting of something else from a fragile and finite resource. I doubt though that the PAS will be addressing the question. They obviously think it is enough to complain that they are the subject of "inaccurate" blog posts by "trolls" and think that solves the problem, and carry on as before.

"Partners' Best Find of the year 2012" competition anyone? An albino Osprey egg? Beautiful plumage, the albino Osprey.
