The cruelty that goes on so that some hooray Henry can blast a red grouse with a shotgun beggars belief:-(

I had to stop reading that link, Melv. I can't believe what goes on. :-(

Horrendous.

Incidents get reported to the police, especially regarding birds of prey. As usual nothing happens...the landowners have the police, judiciary and the government in their pockets.

[Tilly2]

It would seem so, Melv.

[melv16]

Have a look at raptor politics on twitter. Your jaw will drop over some of the reports on there.

[Old_Geezer]

Nasty. That needs to be stopped.

[melv16]

Another astonishing statistic is that over 44 million pheasant poults are released into the British countryside to be blasted out of the sky. No wonder the resident birds are having a hard time finding food.

[melv16]

Btw, the 44 million are released every year.

[Old_Geezer]

It's a wonder there's enough room. What size are the breeding sheds ?

[melv16]

Some 24 million are imported from France, og.

[melv16]

Found out that 5m red legged partridge are released also.

Thank you for all the info, Melv......it’s so sad and very scary.....a person who gets a thrill out of killing in this way is warped and dangerous.

There's a lot of pressure being put on landowners and the government to end this barbaric practice.
