That phrase: ‘custodians of the countryside’. Next time you hear it, ask about *this* and what it might mean for native wildlife. Then listen to the response.
Fifty million pheasants are released into the British countryside every year. It’s a disaster. Those shot are inedible Lead shot is left on the land. Walking up a pheasant and bringing it home for dinner morphed into this.
Fancy a day's Pheasant shooting this autumn? This is what the targets look like now, as they are being specially hand-reared for you by the thousand. So no, this form of shooting is not about food. Nor, in any meaningful sense (other than target practice), is it about sport.
FULL SPEECH: Kamala Harris electrifies the crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as she delivers her first official campaign speech for the presidency.
Worth watching in its entirety and sharing far and wide.
An important closing address from Chris. Thank you to everyone who turned out and supported. Today we sent one clear message to all politicians - RESTORE NATURE NOW!!!
