clapclap Well said! Don't tell me that the majority of the meat in our food chain has a better life than a wild grouse or duck or stag and so forth...Then not to mention how other nations treat animals. I am all for responsible management of game but (I'm not accusing anyone here) the ignorance of people to those who shoot for the pot and judge them bl**dy irks me! If you can't generate an informed opinion (or just to lazy to bother) don't wade inChuck wrote:Well I'd say YES it SHOULD continue if it would let me.
If it's for the pot then fine, if left to rot then NO. Since I assume most grouse are eaten what's the problem. Don't tell me it's cruel, that's just bollox. CRUEL is slitting an animals throat while someone says a prayer over it, having animals in pens waiting to be killed in the next room or dragging chickens through electrified baths to "stun" them before they hit the machines - not always successful.
I think if people are worried about animal welfare then fine, but get into reality mode and stop picking on a sector that DOES ultimately affect other shooters.
As an aside, I wish to hell those who have a pop at other shooting sport disciplines because THEY do not like it would STFU and think how asking the government to ONCE AGAIN interfere in our sport and ways of life can only have bad and unintended consequences.!

I think 'have' is the operative word there...Sandgroper wrote:Not to mention that the management of grouse moors have resulted in increased biodiversity compared to unmanaged moorland.Dougan wrote:Difficult one this - as much as I dislike large organised shoots, I'm not sure I can vote to ban grouse shooting altogether...where could that lead with respect to other game shooters and hunters...?
What I would like to see is far more serious controls by the Environment Agency and DEFRA (yes I know that's laughable) to ensure that the management of such estates doesn't impact severely on the rest of the environment; including prosecutions for killing protected species, and the possible introduction of non-toxic shot (people who can afford grouse shooting can afford it)...
...it would reduce the number of grouse bred, and therefore the estates prospects of revenue.....but tough s***!
I was going to comment...but it's time to watch England and Scotland play 'the beautiful game'.....well England anyway... razzdromia wrote:I'm off to Scotland for 10 days tomorrow and I'll certainly be murdering some as well as some staggies whilst I'm away.
