Disgusting to see the GWCT celebrating the start of their - *WOODCOCK SEASON*!
“To mark the start of the Woodcock season, here is a FREE “sportsman’s” guide to woodcock.”
With them continuing to promote the shooting of endangered species here in the UK, isn’t it high time the GWCT removed the word “Conservation” from their title?
Woodcock are on the Red List, which of course means:
Species is globally threatened.
Historical population decline in UK during 1800–1995.
Severe (at least 50%) decline in UK breeding population over last 25 years, or longer-term period (the entire period used for assessments since the first BoCC review, starting in 1969).
Severe (at least 50%) contraction of UK breeding range over last 25 years, or the longer-term period.
... yet they still want to kill them!
I suppose we shouldn't really be surprised that they can't stop killing a species here in the UK, even when that species is Red Listed, when they already issue licences to kill "protected" Buzzards, "protected" Raven by the dozen & "protected" Badger by the thousand! 😡
