Chris Packham, Ruth Tingay and Mark Avery (Wild Justice) believe that driven grouse shooting is bad for people, the environment and wildlife. People; we think grouse shooting is economically insignificant when contrasted with other real and potential uses of the UK’s extensive uplands.
What will we use all that land for if not shooting grouse? You already banned fox hunting, so can’t use it for that. Badger baiting maybe? That’s still legal. Maybe we could fill it with horses and whip them? I’d say we could breed a bunch of dogs with breathing problems and watch them suffer, but there’s not much blood there. How is a member of the aristocracy supposed to do animal cruelty these days? It’s like they’re trying force us to have “empathy” or whatever the plebs call it.
