Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 a number of pheasant shoots have closed, this is a huge detriment to nature, as the land is all cleared off, and replaced with mono culture ryegrass, wildlife has suffered greatly.
They antis are so short sighted, if hunting and shooting is banned, farmers will clear off wildlife habitat such as scrubland etc, not to mention, no willd bird cover being reseeded annually, wildlife will decline afterwards.
Farmers own the land, they need revenue annually, maybe the antis and shooting community can meet half way, to preserve the declining wildlife in the UK 🇬🇧?

The only places great numbers of wildlife left is on well run shooting estates, fact

If it kills ground nesting birds and field mice, water voles, hedgehogs and spreads disease then the pheasant should be right up Labours synthetic garden path .

Since 1920 the establishment have sought to restrict gun ownership in England on a slowly slowly catchy monkey strategy, 1968, 1996, being key moments, and onwards, if they now come for sporting and vermin control then that’s the end of gun ownership period! That means you will have no valid reason for ownership….. unless you work for the ministry of course🤔🤷‍♂️ 4:57

This will have to go through parliament and if it even gets there we have to look if the 'antis' have given Labour any funds to help them 'fix' the ellection? With promises!

My question is what happens if after your war talk and you get invaded what are you going to use to depend your island forks no knives shovelks why dont you discuss it

[jaseforster]

All these shoots are making foxes extinct and need stopping in my opinion and shooting will get no backing from the hunting community because shooting has killed hunting ! Get it banned asap ! I’d rather see some animals about as there’s none left round by me anymore it’s a disgrace!

[michaelplank]

See how weak these people are its embarrassing

[michaelplank]

When the foxes are there there be nothing else plus no jobs

[michaelplank]

Why dont you all ban everything smoke pot and dont do anything i wouldnt do a thing its ridiculous
