Grouse shooting: Labour calls for review amid habitat concerns

Labour has called for a review of grouse shooting, saying it damages important natural habitats.

During a shoot, the wild grouse are driven - meaning flushed into the open by a line of beaters - and fly over a line of people who shoot them. "The costs of grouse shooting on our environment and wildlife needs to be to properly weighed up against the benefit of land owners profiting from shooting parties," said Sue Hayman, the shadow environment secretary.

What are the shotgun pellets made of?

Need get rid of these bloody seagulls

Well they would, wouldn’t they?

The pound is in crisis. Brexit threatens to destroy the economy. Brexit threatens to break up the UK. Brexit threatens to destroy agriculture. Brexit divides the country. Lunatics have taken over the Government. Labour Party: Let's ban grouse shooting.

Shouldn't be a sport anymore, same as pheasant shooting.

Labour wants to destroy everything.

Do grouse have rights now....I hope so ...everything in the uk has now !

Just legalise seagull shootings.

Good! ☺
