WOODCOCK SHOOTING

         

FROM ME - ANOTHER SUCCESS FOR PUBLIC OPINION MAKING THE LEGISLATORS THINK



FROM WILD JUSTICE



         Our petition asking for a change to the shooting season of Woodcock will be debated next Monday - here we ask you to get in touch with your MP about this issue.  Also raptor news, renewed thanks for your actions on SSSIs, a heads-up on glyphosate and a word about our next newsletter.


Mark Avery, Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay (Wild Justice) want the

opening of the Woodcock shooting season to be pushed back to 1 December. 160,000 Woodcock are shot for fun across the UK whilst their population is declining. The Defra Secretary of State has powers to vary

the shooting season.
