Whether you loved or hated the shooting element of Countryfile last Sunday, I felt it was positive the BBC were willing to show shooting at all.
The NGO has posted the following, and I agree that as many people as possible should write to them to say how much they enjoyed seeing shooting featured in a positive light and how we’d like to see more of it.
I am sure the anti will write in so we need to show they are just the vocal minority … speak up or lose your sport!!
NGO post and link below:
While taking part in Countryfile on Sunday evening may have been a risk, the NGO believe it was a risk worth taking. Hopefully you – our members – agree and were pleased with the angles that David Pooler and his team at Rhug were able to discuss, and how gamekeepers and their work was portrayed.
There were many topics not covered in the Countryfile episode which both you and we would have liked to talk more about, including the conservation benefits of shooting (which were touched on but not delved into more deeply).
However, if we as a community want the BBC and other broadcasters to cover topics like gamekeeping, shooting and wildlife management on TV or radio, we need to have our voices heard and to show the BBC that there was a positive reaction to Sunday night’s programme.
With that in mind, we would like to suggest that any of you who enjoyed the programme visit the BBC feedback page and let them know how pleased you were to see your hobby or profession portrayed on Countryfile. We need to be seen to be supporting programmes such as these; if the BBC receive only negative feedback, similar programmes are less likely to happen in future.
