🐰Gamekeepers using Mountain Hare as bait in spring traps.
▫️Iconic @peakdistrict.bsky.social wildlife once again hacked up and used as bait.
▫️Spring traps are used to kill small mammals, in order to raise more grouse and pheasant to shoot for fun.
▫️This cycle of death needs to be broken. #BanDGS

A Raven was found shot near Agden Side Road, Bradfield, in the #PeakDistrict. Do you have any information that could help the Police in their investigation?
It is believed the bird was shot between 24-25 August.
Ravens are a protected species - to shoot one is a crime. See below for more:

Killing of wildlife on #Sheffield grouse shooting moors continues in freezing temperatures and icy conditions. This DOC trap crushed a large rodent. I believe the trap is set unlawfully see photo below:

➰Snares set in snow and freezing weather on Peak District shooting estate.
❄️Snares should never be used 'if forecasted weather conditions are likely to cause poor welfare'.
🦊Victims suffer hypothermia, injuries and terror before being shot dead.
📸Please monitor urgently for suffering wildlife.
