    Or the shooting of other animals and birds to protect the species that is in season. Or the environmental damage done by the intensive rearing and release of ring necked pheasant for shooting. Our nearest pheasant shoot has been abandoned for the last 5 years - there has been a very noticeable increase in other bird species in that time. That's even aside from the stoopid shooters shooting our phone line, shooting over our house and garden, leaving gates open and treating our home like they own it

    I think some parts of society are finding this hard to get over. :|

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It was never going to work. The quote from the director of the Moorland Association at the start of the program was "If we let the Hen Harriers in we will have nothing left"

    @Busy-Lizzie  same in America it seems according to Tom. 
    Typical,  if it moves,  shoot it. 


    I didn't realise it had to be moving to be shot in Americal.

    Does stag hunting with dogs still happen?  There is a need to cull deer to stop a population explosion but that's another thing completely.

    It's best ignored now. This is exactly what it seems to like.

    I agree @Fairygirl … I said to OH this morning that if a WUM wanted to cause upset on a forum they’d set a Heffalump trap … he did and you’re all jumping into it with both feet. 

    Answer the question and leave it at that … or post some lighthearted stuff. Don’t give him what he wants 🙄
