Petition: Ban driven grouse shooting 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.

Anyone not signed yet? There is nothing positive in beaten #grousemoor shooting, from the despoliation of the landscape to the persecution of wildlife. If UK based please sign this petition so that a debate can be raised in parliament.

Glasgow, Scotland-based documentary, editorial and portrait photographer Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert Photographing a muirburn - the burning of the heather, on a Scottish estate, to aid regeneration of the plants, and to provide young saplings for the Grouse birds to eat.

Muirburn - photographing controlled burning of the heather in a grouse moor. Really fascinating to see and photograph, all part of documenting life in Scotland. www.jeremysuttonhibbert.com/glasgow-base... #heatger #landmanagement #grousemoor #Scotland #photographer #photography

I cannot tell you how much I loathe the Grouse Moor Estates who allow, encourage and condone illegal killing of birds of prey.

And all to support their industry that has to medicate grouse because of the numbers they have to breed.

Excellent piece by @MarkAvery on the latest news, such as it is, on farm subsidy reform. Will #grousemoor owners lose their subsidies?

ERROR: The request could not be satisfied

Response from HM Gov to the petition calling for #grousemoor licencing to protect #birdsofprey - shockingly lame! http://ow.ly/uWoEz
