Grouse shooting: an expensive niche hobby of shooting birds for fun, based on environmentally damaging burning of our uplands and underpinned by crime against wildlife.

The badger cull is appalling—330,000 have been killed despite a lack of evidence it stops the spread of TB.

We're just 5,000 signatures away from our 100k target. Sign now and force this weak government to do the right thing!
