@rspb.bsky.social I’m concerned about your position on this. I’m currently a member but will be reconsidering over next day or so #grouseshooting
I'm afraid that is the point - the pleasure is atavistic, for chest-beating cavemen (and that's just the women?🤔)

CA/GWCT et al trying to reframe the #grouseshooting issue. It's about wildlife crime and persecution of an amazing bird, don't be deterred
If you couldn’t tune in to ydays #grousedebate then here’s the @GOVUK transcript hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2016-10-31/debat... Its q grim reading #GrouseShooting
Revisiting ydays #grousedebate riled at MPs criticising people using emails and online engagement. Get real @GOVUK its 2017! #GrouseShooting

debate - hen harriers in wales?
Peer reviewed study...
I don't get why licensing, as advocated by @Natures_Voice, is seen as taboo? If you have nothing to hide, you needn't worry?#GrouseShooting
#GrouseShooting debate - How well do Red Kites do when surrounded by Grouse moors? - peer reviewed (!) study here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000...
#GrouseShooting debate - how widespread is raptor persection on Grouse moors?- see this paper for Peregrine Falcons www.academia.edu/5322560/Amar_et_al_2012_...

Postulation - if driven #GrouseShooting is what's best for uplands, why've we not told other nations that's the way to conserve them?
#GrouseShooting debate - 'where are the peer reviewed studies that show hen harriers suffer on grouse moors" - are you kidding me!!!!
Lost for words watching the #GrouseShooting debate: vested interests, nonsense and scaremongering. Good point made on alternatives though.
#GrouseShooting debate - can't believe what I am hearing! - I naively thought I would hear some balanced arguments - I am so depressed!
