Share the benefits of grouse shooting
BASC is asking its members and supporters to promote the benefits of grouse shooting to their local MPs and push back against a Wild Justice petition.
The petition, which calls for a ban on driven grouse shooting, has now surpassed the 100,000-signature threshold required to trigger a debate in Parliament. A date for the debate will be scheduled in due course.Â
BASC is asking all members to send our simple infographic, which highlights the benefits of grouse shooting and moorland management, to their local MPs.
Having a significant number new MPs in place following the 2024 election leaves potential for the environmental, social, and economic benefits of grouse shooting to sit under the radar, which could leave MPs swayed by one-sided arguments.
Show your support for sustainable grouse shooting by sending the below infographic to your MP. You can download a version here, and if you’re not sure how to contact your MP, click here to search and find their details.
