Stop Corporate Grouse Shooting Days
In light of the government's rejection of an e-petition last October calling for the banning of grouse shooting which was signed by 123,077 people, we have been prompted to adopt a new approach.
We are now calling upon UK companies to treat grouse shooting as a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) issue. We know that grouse shooting estates offer tailor made ‘corporate days’ for businesses to shoot grouse on the UK’s moorlands, and given the environmental and animal welfare implications of this pursuit we want businesses to make a stand against it.
As part of this research we are circulating a small – five question – questionnaire to 189 UK companies. So far we've had positive responses.
Turn your back on Grouse is part of the campaign to safe the Hen Harrier. The Raptor Persecution Site provides regular details of
Stone of the persecutin that is taking place. The management of the moors and the evidence of the slaughter that takes place not not only there, but the seemingly random shooting of wildlife seems to be a regular activity for some. However there are people in the world who do care.
