Highlights from yesterday’s Parliamentary grouse shooting debate
Yesterday's debate in Westminster Hall on whether or not to ban driven grouse shooting certainly stirred up some strongly felt emotions on both sides of the argument. Shooting Times was covering the conversation minute by minute and will be writing a full report in their forthcoming issues. In the meanwhile, here are some of the more emotive tweets published by the fors and againsts. And if you signed the petition, thank you from all shooters for your support.
1/2 IN CONCLUSION: #GrouseShooting debate – @theresecoffey “Gov has no intention of banning DGS…”

Praise be. Perhaps now keepers will be left in peace to do their job, managing and conserving our glorious land. #GrouseShootinghttps://t.co/e44MtB0f3J
