Ban the rearing and shooting of game birds for sport.

What the petition asks

The "sport" of shooting game birds, including pheasant, grouse, and partridge, leads to more wildlife persecution than any other activity. Some forms of game bird shooting require excessive land "management" leading to the loss of wildlife habitat on a huge scale.

Mostly the birds are not actually eaten, and often their corpses are buried in their hundreds in ditches, or put into "stink pits" which attract animals such as badgers, foxes, hares and rabbits which then get caught in snares, which can cause an agonising death. The planet can no longer support this rich man's indulgence.
