Anyone remotely surprised?

Shooting birds is not a "sport"; it's a cruel and outdated pastime that has no place in a modern, compassionate society.

"Charles III’s patience with his brother may have snapped after a wave of fresh revelations about his friendship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein but it does not extend to banning him from using royal estates to go shooting with his friends, or horse riding " observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Quite rightly! A big 🖕 to the bird shooting industry!

Things you love to see! 👏

Watch this space because our huge undercover investigation into the bird shooting industry is breaking very soon..

Sir David Attenborough has backed a £30 million campaign to buy and rewild the 15-square-mile Rothbury Estate in Northumberland, a former grouse moor once owned by Lord Max Percy. The Wildlife Trusts aim to restore its bogs, woodlands, and farmland, creating a 40-mile wildlife corridor.

The biggest ever undercover investigation into the British bird shooting industry. Safe to say we're pretty excited to release our findings. Coming soon..

No big deal but the largest ever investigation into the British bird shooting industry is about a week away from dropping ;)

Imagine if we placed an undercover worker inside a farm breeding birds for the shooting industry, filming everything, every day, for two straight weeks.

The British bird shooting industry is going to be so so so pissed off when they see what we've filmed undercover for the last 6 months..

Terabytes of footage. Shocking discoveries. The fight to end bird shooting starts now.

Imagine if we told you we’ve spent the last six months infiltrating the British bird shooting industry, and that everything we’ve uncovered is about to be exposed in just a few days.

Police say tag showed suspicious patterns endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/satellite-...

Two satellite-tagged Golden Eagles, Tarras and Wren, have vanished in Dumfries & Galloway. Police say the data from Tarras’ tag shows “suspicious patterns” before he disappeared near shooting estates. His mate has also gone missing.

The bird shooting industry has had a free pass for too long, watch this space.. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A few days ago Police Scotland announced that a post-mortem examination and toxicology testing of the body of a Red KIte found in June had revealed that the bird had ingested high levels of rodenticide and had also ingested the banned pesticide aldicarb.

🚨 Animals and even pets are being targeted and killed all across the UK at increasing rates with catapults & ball bearings according to the RSPCA. But the media has a bias and is hypocritical about which animals are worth our outage. 👉 Follow us and support us to End Bird Shooting now!

Up to 500 birds could be killed in a single day on Stephen Schwarzman’s country estate www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Shooting often complains about ‘antis’ maligning their ‘sport’. Damn right we do. Every baleful element of the shooting industry - from factory farming through to eradicating native predators and wildlife crime - deserves to be maligned endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/500-pheasa...

🦅 The Yorkshire Dales has ended its “Bird of Prey Partnership” after years of raptors vanishing on grouse moors. Hen harriers, buzzards, peregrines, red kites, all lost for profit. Ending a sham scheme isn’t enough. We need action, not excuses. #news

This is mental. Natural England proudly describes Lindisfarne as one of England’s most important National Nature Reserves, home to half the world’s population of Pale-bellied Brent Geese, yet at the same time it allows BASC to raffle off the chance to blast these very birds out of the sky.

Yes you read that right. endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/basc-raffl...

Tens of millions of partridges are bred in cages, raised in sheds, and then dumped into fields, just to be shot for fun. This is all legal. And it’s happening right now across Britain. We’re campaigning to end bird shooting once and for all. Please follow us and join the fight. ✊🌱

Today marks the start of the partridge shooting season. Across the country, lines of talentless cowards will stand shoulder to shoulder, blasting thousands of beautiful birds out of the sky for nothing more than their own amusement.

Today marks the start of partridge shooting in the UK. Each year, tens of millions of birds are factory-farmed, released, and gunned down — all perfectly legal, with government backing. Most people have no idea this is happening, let alone the scale of killing.

Bird shooting culture: after killing, they wipe the blood of the animal on each other’s faces. They call it ‘blooding’. We call it barbaric.

Anyone else see the sick irony in this article? The whole piece glossing over the fact people blasting birds out of the sky for fun should be a bloody rural crime too! www.southwestfarmer.co.uk/news/2541595...

It typically is because some landowners want to kill birds, and the law says they can... endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/why-is-the...

Two Hen Harrier chicks born on National Trust land in the Peak District have been fitted with satellite tags. Why? Because once they leave their nest, they face one of the deadliest threats in our uplands: grouse moors. Hen Harriers are relentlessly persecuted.

No 'licencing lifeline' for an industry that needs banning instead. endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/why-we-wil...

Licensing would shut down debate on banning grouse shooting for decades. And if such a scheme were introduced here, it would be overseen by Natural England — the same body behind the disastrous Hen Harrier “brood meddling” and long accused of cosying up to the shooting industry.

Fires rage across Yorkshire moors and grouse shooting is still fuelling the flames. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Moor burning kills wildlife, releases carbon, and destroys wetlands. It must end. Call it what it is: environmental vandalism for grouse shooting.

Surprise surprise! endbirdshooting.substack.com/p/yet-anothe...

Britain’s countryside is now a playground for the elite, where animals are caged, killed, and dumped—funded by your taxes. This isn’t conservation. It’s cruelty disguised as tradition.

“Jobs and livelihoods” is the excuse — but driven grouse shooting props up the rich, not rural Britain. Killing wildlife for sport isn’t compassion. It’s bloodsport in disguise. Follow us at @endbirdshooting.bsky.social

Surviving the shooting industry, in other words...

There is so much missing from the UK’s ‘national parks’, including birds of prey and a whole suite of the predators that are essential to healthy ecosystems.

But lead-free alternatives mean shooting industry will still kill millions of animals every year

Grouse shooting is an anachronism. Revulsion at using so much precious land just to rear one species to kill is growing. open.substack.com/pub/endbirds...

New report by RSPB says "record numbers" illegally killed or missing in suspicious circumstances over the past five years.

1/5th of Scotland’s land is used for bird shooting! 😡

This is mental. Did you know each year between 39 and 57 million pheasants and 8.1 to 13 million partridges are released into the UK countryside to be shot.

Grouse shooting supposedly supports approximately 2,640 jobs. However, it requires about 330 hectares to create a single job, making it one of the least economically efficient land uses.
