Who are the killers? Hunting Estates
Country House Estates earn huge rewards from well-heeled hunters, often from abroad, who slaughter wildlife and game-birds for fun and entertainment - in the name of "sport".
There is nothing "sporting" about killing a defenceless animal or bird with a high-powered rifle or shotgun.
This is a coward's game!
Deer populations are kept artificially high for hunting interests, where a "trophy" means cutting a stag's head off, sticking it on a plaque and hanging it on a wall. A gruesome reminder of a coward's fun!
Game birds are bred like hens, only to be released into the wild and blown out of the sky by shotguns.

Hunting estates charge groups of "guests" up to £15,000 a week for the fun of slaughtering wildlife and game.
Animals and birds are being exploited mercilessly for profit and the argument that it maintains rural employment holds little water.
If they can't work without exploiting wildlife and game,
they shouldn't work at all!
The time has never been better to persuade the British public that this is no longer acceptable in the 21st century and to rid this country of the scourge of all hunting for good.
