Joined December 2024
Bird shooting culture: after killing, they wipe the blood of the animal on each other’s faces. They call it ‘blooding’. We call it barbaric.

Anyone else see the sick irony in this article? The whole piece glossing over the fact people blasting birds out of the sky for fun should be a bloody rural crime too! .

Two Hen Harrier chicks born on National Trust land in the Peak District have been fitted with satellite tags. Why? Because once they leave their nest, they face one of the deadliest threats in our uplands: grouse moors. Hen Harriers are relentlessly persecuted.

Licensing would shut down debate on banning grouse shooting for decades. And if such a scheme were introduced here, it would be overseen by Natural England — the same body behind the disastrous Hen Harrier “brood meddling” and long accused of cosying up to the shooting industry.

Moor burning kills wildlife, releases carbon, and destroys wetlands. It must end. Call it what it is: environmental vandalism for grouse shooting.

Despite 71% of people supporting a snare ban in the UK, the government has taken no action - showing a disregard for the views of the majority.

Britain’s countryside is now a playground for the elite, where animals are caged, killed, and dumped—funded by your taxes. This isn’t conservation. It’s cruelty disguised as tradition.

“Jobs and livelihoods” is the excuse — but driven grouse shooting props up the rich, not rural Britain. Killing wildlife for sport isn’t compassion. It’s bloodsport in disguise. Follow us at @EndBirdShooting

Today marks the start of the grouse shooting season. A blood sport dressed up as tradition, it sees thousands of red grouse blasted from the skies for nothing more than entertainment.

It’s time we left cruelty in the past. Share this if you want a future without shooting estates. @EndBirdShooting

What they claim is “managing the countryside”….…is actually burning it. Grouse shooting destroys peatlands and biodiversity.

It’s not culture. It’s cruelty dressed up for the elite. Tag someone who agrees.

Birds of prey are vanishing from our skies — because they threaten grouse shooting profits. This isn’t nature. It’s industrialised suppression. @EndBirdShooting

Every year, heather is set alight to promote driven grouse shooting. Restoring moors instead would be an ecological and economic boom @EndBirdShooting .
