The ‘Glorious Twelfth’ Red Grouse Every year on the Twelfth of August, since around the mid 1800’s, on hills and moors all around the British isles, well-heeled men and women have taken to the hills with their shotguns, …

Today is the ‘Glorious Twelfth’, a highly contentious day in the rural calendar that causes heated debate every time it comes round.

A Season of Shame: The ‘Inglorious Twelfth’ The Glorious Twelfth – or the “Inglorious Twelfth”, as it should rightly be named – marks the start of the UK’s red grouse shooting season – a massacre of wildlife.

There's nothing "glorious" about the start of Britain’s grouse shooting season 😡

What Is the Glorious Twelfth, aka the Controversial “Ritual” the Royals Just Gathered for in Balmoral Turns out, August 12 is a whole * thing * in this family.

“The #GloriousTwelfth?

The opening of grouse-shooting season, which the #RoyalFamily love...despite the controversial 'sport' of "shooting hundreds of birds at a time just for fun." - League Against Cruel Sports.

12 Reasons There's Nothing 'Glorious' About the Start of Britain's Grouse Shooting Season This shameful massacre must stop, for the sake of wildlife, the environment, and basic compassion.

Gamekeepers set traps and snares to kill any animals who eat grouse, like foxes and stoats. Badgers, hares, cats, and dogs are also regular victims. Shooting is a cycle of death and destruction and must end ASAP 😡

Flashback to a misspent youth: the start of a long rambling series of handwritten musings on the #glorious12th [century] that moved from Abelard thro scholastic philosophy, monks & manuscripts, medieval Jews, Argenteuil, French artists, Keats.. #GloriousTwelfth #medievaltwitter
