Ban grouse shooting - Mark Avery Former RSPB conservation director Mark Avery has created an e-petition calling for a ban on grouse shooting. epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/65627 Mr Avery states:Intensive management of upland areas for the ‘sport’ of grouse shooting has led to the near-extinction of the protected Hen Harrier in England, as well as increased risk of flooding, discolouration of drinking water, degradation of peatbogs and impacts on other wildlife. Mr Avery later states: Grouse shooters have failed to put their own house in order, despite decades of discussion, and government has proved incapable of influencing this powerful lobby group. The time has now come for the public to call ‘Enough!’ and require the next government to ban driven grouse shooting in England. Your thoughts on this are, of course, extremely welcome.
