These apples have been left to rot because they are too BIG for supermarkets and the profit margins are too small. It’s cheaper to leave them than to pay pickers to collect them. And this my friends is just one of the reasons why humanity is in crisis.

I have spent 20 years being lectured by those that love hunting and shooting, about its benefits to conservation. It isn’t. It’s just used as an excuse to shoot stuff for fun.

I always believe in taking criticism and using it usefully. The idea to sing happy birthday was well intentioned. We thought it would bring a moment of happy escapism, so let’s do it for .Captain Tom Moore who turns 100 on the 30th April. Let’s sing it for him #singfortom

There is an often repeated mantra that trophy hunting pays for conservation. I’ve been on the ground and I’ve seen things first hand. It’s bullshit. The money lines the pockets of corrupt officials. It creates a perverse vicious circle & preserves more animals to then be hunted.
