Fight for the future of game shooting - have you had your say?

[Conor O'Gorman]

Around 23 SD members have confirmed they have responded to the consultation on proposals to restriction gamebird releasing in Wales - something that takes a few minutes for anyone anywhere in the UK (or beyond) to complete to send a clear message to the anti-shooting Welsh Government that we as a shooting community SAY NO to the proposals.

Perhaps many more SD members have responded? Or perhaps many not heard of this issue yet? Or perhaps many do not have time or care?

There is no right or wrong answer - it would just be helpful to understand the potential scale of SD support for this and future campaigns to protect shooting from threats relative to other forums etc. online.

Just ticked it!

Let’s look at the bigger picture of shooting in Wales and the pheasants in Wales, on one hand, you have the small medium shoot which I don’t have a problem with, group of guys and ladies with a dogs Is grubbing around for a few pheasants, maybe a few beaters, lovely, can’t think of anything nicer myself.

Then, on the other hand, do you have the commercial shoot in Wales, where they drive thousands of pheasants of the top of the hill to waiting guns, who shoot 300, 400 ,500 birds a day!

as I’ve previously been stated, I’ve personally seen 200 birds shot on the first drive!

How can you defend that?!

The death of shooting will come from the greed of guns and the big days.

A few poking about for pheasants for the pot, or the fowler after a duck or goose means more to me because they appreciate what they shoot, the guns on big days don’t care about the animal their shooting or what happens to it after!

 

[xavierdoc]

Done.

While I don't support the large bag, commercial days that may waste shot game, support in this context is all or nothing.

Make no mistake, the long term goal of the proposed restrictions/licensing, is to ban game bird shooting in Wales. They'll then move to the next shooting activity.

It won't look like a ban at first but will become sufficiently obstructive and onerous (financially or otherwise) as to be one in all but name.
