⚠️ Hunting is being further deregulated in #Italy
Several Italian regions have approved the shooting of chaffinches for this autumn. With several other regions also planning to follow suite.
>800,000 protected chaffinches & starlings will be allowed to be shot this autumn.
A butterfly emergency was called last year. France has banned pesticides from towns and cities, and many other European nations are trying to do the same. Join me and tell the UK government to follow in their footsteps and protect our pollinators: https://t.co/qN2TMAaxO0
This is one of the most gruesome raptor persecution cases I have ever heard– yet incidents like this take place up and down the country every single year .
It must end , please sign our petition to ban driven grouse shooting now https://t.co/CvWpIVskL8
Yet again, @10DowningStreet shows itself to be trapped in a misinformation and disinformation bubble when it comes to nature laws, repeating tired old #TuftonStreet tropes that have been proved to be wrong time and again.
Meanwhile, the PM seems to have very little to say about housebuilders that are sitting on planning permissions already granted, but not building.
Perhaps it's just politically easier to criticise spiders, rather than housebuilders that buy big exhibition spaces at party conferences, I wonder?
That's 70,000 people who want to see driven grouse shooting banned.
We're nearly 3/4 of the way there to our target of 100,000 signatures.
Do you want a ban? If so, please like & share this post!

Oh deary me, they just can't bloody well help themselves can they.
@SouthernWater's under siege CEO has taken to gaslighting parliament. Now trying to make us all believe that the policy and regulatory change needed by water companies to allow them to fix all of this was brought about by campaigners and he thinks we're all terribly fabulous people and now wants to work with us...
Try it this way. The law was clear in 1991. It was updated in 1994. The court told you so in 2012 and yet again in 2021.
Here's a hint. We don't need or want your false, insincere flattery, try doing your bloody job, comply with the law and we need never speak each others names ever again.
Or perhaps you should have just done that in the first place, 35 years ago.
One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place. https://t.co/axKwTuMI7k

I see the NFU and CA are beginning to bottle it. Can you believe they're trying to stop the BBC from showing Brian Mays documentary this Friday. What have they got to hide I wonder. Will they be shown to be responsible for the needless slaughter of 100,000s badgers. I Think so.
Paul’s arrest & the sentencing of 5 UK climate activists to 21 years in jail may seem unrelated, but there’s a worrying trend here where those protecting Earth are being targeted with draconian laws - while the real villains continue business as usual. https://t.co/bQNTChiCYg
Thames Water has £16bn debt. Dividends financed by debt.
It incurred interest & related costs of £906m, 38% of gross revenue, passed to customers.
Around 30% of customer bill covers interest charge. People pay for management follies.
Ofwat permits this.
