How has the shooting shaped the landscape (other than them being called grouse moors)? Genuine question.Glorious 12th today,grouse shooting starts,labour aren't happy and want it stopping,its shaped a lot of the landscape in weardale,teesdale and north-Yorkshire,labour are saying its had its day and is cruel,has it had its day in a modern world?
Yes. The grouse shooting industry is destroying large areas of countryside. Too much money involved so nowt will change thoughGlorious 12th today,grouse shooting starts,labour aren't happy and want it stopping,its shaped a lot of the landscape in weardale,teesdale and north-Yorkshire,labour are saying its had its day and is cruel,has it had its day in a modern world?
Hope your a vegan,you have obviously never been inside or seen inside an abbatoir,your bacon this morning didn't die in its sleep.Cowardly as fuck
There's no horses involved in grouse shootingYes, it should be stopped. I have no problem with hunting animals for bait, but not for sport. It's not just shooting either - they use traps.
It's not just cruel to the birds, but the horses they ride too. They force them to gallop on roads which are unsuitable for horses. There's videos knocking about of horses being pushed to the point they're collapsing, unable to walk, or stressing so much that they go into fits.
Shown your true colours here. Anyone who disagrees with it is denounced as a vegan.Heather burning etc, structured rotational burning programs allow for vegetative regeneration,landscape was the wrong choice of word.

Who traps grouse?Are you confusing grouse shooting with the grand national?King of the road,nope,yours is a strawman argument,i am saying anyone who thinks grouse shooting is cruel then tucks into a bacon roll without a thought of true cruelty needs to look into the source of their food.Yes, it should be stopped. I have no problem with hunting animals for bait, but not for sport. It's not just shooting either - they use traps.

Very very different to grouse shooting though. Shouldn't even be in the same sentence never mind subjectI think I was thinking of fox hunting.
I play cricket with a games keeper, smashing bloke who is very passionate about wildlife and the welfare of the animals on the estate he manages. Mention Chris Packham to him and you can almost see his blood pressure rise.
I don’t know enough on the subject, I know it’s a lot more complex than townies imposing sometimes ill informed views about countryside management though.
