UK national parks & Grouse shooting (1 Viewer)

Yet another depressing article about the environmental damage caused by Grouse shooting:

Britain’s national parks dominated by driven grouse moors, says study

Depressing in so many ways: including the outright lies and half-truths about grouse moor managers and gamekeepers work. Predator control is unnecessary, the amount of prey will only support a certain level of predators and indeed they interact as well. Planting trees around moorland fringes (what does that even mean) is transparently to obscure sight lines and prevent observation of illegal game-management practices, as it is not where trees are required in order to slow loss of water into river systems. But our current crooked, sleazy, upper-class twit government doesn't care.
