‘Dr James Robinson from the RSPB called for regulation of the grouse-shooting industry after 102 birds were killed or went missing on or near grouse moors in northern England between 2020 and 2024.’
‘The RSPB report issued earlier contains details of hen harriers being shot, their chicks being stamped on and one bird having its head pulled off while still alive.’
‘Meanwhile, the Moorland Association, which is responsible for more than a million acres of moorlands in England and Wales, questioned the RSPB’s findings, saying none of those who had been convicted of bird crime were gamekeepers – who were actually working hard to help birds thrive.’
So my understanding is that non-gamekeepers are just shooting and killing a red listed rare species? But, why? Curious to hear why people might think this is
