Tens of millions of partridges are bred in cages, raised in sheds, and then dumped into fields, just to be shot for fun.

This is all legal. And it’s happening right now across Britain.

We’re campaigning to end bird shooting once and for all. Please follow us and join the fight. ✊🌱

❗Yesterday, we responded to reports that NatureScot has granted a licence to allow the killing of up to 500 baby gannets.

The news that the traditional guga hunt had been approved to return later this year gained significant media coverage & raised public awareness of this archaic practice.
