Grouse shooting is an incredibly environmentally destructive sport that decimates our countryside and our wildlife populations every year. It should not be celebrated. It should be banned. You can learn more from our friends at @wildjustice.bsky.social here: wildjustice.org.uk/cause/driven...

To increase grouse populations, the plant life of these upland habitats, in particular heather, is routinely burned to encourage new growth that feeds grouse. Grouse shooters have also been known to illegally kill birds of prey such as White-tailed Eagles to reduce the threat of predators.

Grouse shooting is a sport which kills approximately 500,000 grouse every year. Grouse, unlike pheasants, are wild birds native to the UK’s uplands such as the Yorkshire Dales and the Cairngorms.

STOP GROUSE SHOOTING. END THE GLORIOUS 12TH. The Glorious 12th takes place on the 12th August every year, and marks the opening of grouse shooting season, where it becomes legal to shoot grouse across the country. 🧵 👇 #EndGrouseShooting #Glorious12th #NatureRestoration #Wildfires

We are stronger together. Landowners have a duty to those who use their land and - chances are - that’s you! Talk to your neighbours, your friends and your representatives. Sow seeds (literally and metaphorically) in your local communities that grow into powerful movements for change. 3/4

The motion for 30by30 was blocked by a watered down amendment backed by the Bishops. As both spiritual leader and a Church Commissioner, Archbishop Sarah Mullally, can change this. Use this link to send her an email actionnetwork.org/letters/arch... 2/4
