💚💚🦊🦊 Cute fox cub action

Delivering leaflets today asking the good people of #Sheffield to sign the @wildjustice.bsky.social petition to ban grouse shooting. Nearly there!

❓️Ever wondered how gamekeepers go about "Predator Control" on shooting Moors- killing every bird or animal that might harm a Grouse

❌️ Shooting hide surrounded by bait (hard to tell him recent due to warm weather)

Strines Peak District

Grass burning on Lancashire Moors today above Hollingworth Lake Rochdale. Skylark, Golden Plover and Curlew all nesting here.

Heather burning on incredibly steep slopes on Midhope Grouse Shooting Moor and a series of Grips (drainage ditches) on Thirlstone Moor let's rainwater pour off the River Don catchment putting Sheffield at risk of flooding. Time to #ReclaimOurMoors with community ownership.

After yet another "terrible" season for Grouse shooting - gamekeepers are ramping up traps and chemicals on these conservation areas. New spring traps to kill stoats and lots of worming agent Flubendazole coating grit the Grouse take to help digestion.

Plenty of Ice and beautiful views on Peak District moorland up at Nether Bleaklow Stones today. Nice start to the New Year 💚

The internal opening on these "run through" traps must be no more than 51mm x 51mm but this is more than 75mm x 75mm. When I've reported similar Police take no action.

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:

🔥🔥🔥 Moorland burning this week in Peak District

❌ Environmental damage just so more Grouse can be shot

💚 These moors need to be in community or public ownership

💚 And managed for nature
