Ban Driven Grouse Shooting

The name is on the tin. The tin has been around since 2016 as a Facebook page but is now live on Twitter

Let us hope it is indeed a tipping point. Time for the First Minister to realise that her recidivist wing are losing the party votes. Time, finally, to get off the fence.

POISONED SEA EAGLE found on grouse moor in Cairngorms National Park. This must surely be the tipping point for @scotgov @NicolaSturgeon @strathearnrose to bring in reform. https://t.co/0QPk8K2cIf

I believe we can win a ban on the mass killing of mountain hares on Wednesday. The campaign has been incredible but powerful voices are now fighting back. Make your voice heard and support the @AlisonJohnstone amendment! 🐇https://t.co/PZwiKKj2Tq

Today!

[Friends of the Earth Scotland 🌎 @FoEScot]

On Wed 17 June, an amendment in @ScotParl could make mountain hares a protected species & end these brutal killings.

Email your MSP now to ask them support this move to protect Scotland's wildlife. 👇

Here’s some of the highlights from the @BBCSpringwatch social media shows! Genuinely loved every minute... enjoy 😃🤣

YOUR vote to end the mass slaughter of mountain hares on Scottish grouse moors. If you want to end this obscene bloodbath, pls sign the petition to support @AlisonJohnstone 's amendment which will be heard in Parliament on Weds. https://t.co/WZfXuK4yRM

Needless to say, the @BeefyBotham wine I accidentally bought tastes sour, intolerable and contains suspicious material (actual floaters). Review of @BothamWines in a nutshell: inadmissible

Who is doing Powerline work at Cotton Farm Holmes Chapel ?
They have just driven right over a Lapwing nest smashing the 4 eggs and are now parked right next to a Skylark nest @RSPBbirders @CheshPolRural @CHESHIREBIRDING @SP_EnergyPeople @ScottishPower @NaturalEngland

[H.I.T. @FoxHITeam]

Snaring is 'essential' work it seems.
Monitors found these snares today at grid reference SK 243 848.
Badgers and mountain hares live in this area.
Wondering if the police drone will be up tomorrow morning to check for wildlife crime. Please RT. HIT.

[Luke Steele @Lukesteele4]

Two of Yorkshire’s three national park authorities - North York Moors and Peak District - are now backing an end to grouse moor burning. 👏

What’s the hold up, @Yorkshire_Dales?

[H.I.T. @FoxHITeam]

BE VIGILANT.
If you see it report it.
Wildlife criminals are not on lock down.
Get active for wildlife.

Ok so who’s had the conversation, if it comes to it, who should we eat first in their house yet?! And, perhaps more aptly, which book will we sacrifice for toilet paper?! #expeditiontoptip #beprepared #communicate

[Wild Moors @wildmoorsuk]

Result! The burning season has been called off by the grouse shooting industry — three weeks prematurely — following pressure. 🧯💦🔥

A good suggestion from a correspondent of mine:

Instead of calling it social distancing, we should call it *physical distancing*.

1. This gives a clearer idea of what's required of us.

2. Now more than ever, we need to support each other, even if it's at a distance.

⁦@northyorkmoors⁩ - what planet are you on? Your park is in terrible environmental condition- we have a climate & biodiversity emergency - you need to be part of the solution! https://t.co/97flABtbGR

[Wild Moors @wildmoorsuk]

Grouse moor burning rages on — we've recorded a staggering 138 fires started on the county's peatland hills in the past fortnight alone.🔥

We're urging @ZacGoldsmith to make clear when the government's promised burning ban will be delivered. ⚖️

NEWS: ANOTHER HEN HARRIER SHOT on a grouse moor in Yorkshire Dales National Park. Another suspect arrested by North Yorkshire Police. https://t.co/vm2teEa5qg

[Ban Driven Grouse Shooting @BanDriven]

Shocking. No lessons learned, it seems.
