Sign a proper petition this evening, not one of those comedy Musk ones... Ban Driven Grouse Shooting! It destroys ecosystems, is ridden with criminality, causes flooding, concentrates land with a tiny minority of bloodthirsty maniacs, and after all that, is a shit excuse for a sport anyway. 👇 - ThreadSky

Ban Driven Grouse Shooting!

Oddly I have had this discussion with an RSPB warden. They would much rather deal with grouse moors than monoculture timber plantations.

mrhenrymorris.bsky.social•174 days ago

It's not either/or!

jonathancarroll.bsky.social•174 days ago

What do you suggest as a third option? The only rule is your suggestion has to be economically viable.

I'm not a grouse shooter by the way.

There was a writer on James O'Briens show who's written a book called (I think) The Lie Of The Land who said that an area of land equivalent in size to Greater London is used just for grouse shooting.

That's fucked!

@guyshrubsole.bsky.social he's well worth a follow and his new book The Lie of the Land is great too.
