It's the pro hunt groups that have caused the decline in black grouse, capercaillie, red squirrel etc. This is just a cynical exercise to expand Red grouse moorland by the back door and expand the shooting industry. Black grouse, red grouse habitat is exactly the same and you don't imagine they wont be shooting still do you! Yet another CON and it's worth noting who the usual pro hunt partners in crime are such as the RSPB who "cannot comment on game shoots as it's against our charter" yet they can fully support game shoots on their own lands and elsewhere. Cynical is the right word. -- Have you ever noticed that if something is advertised as 'amusing' or 'hilarious', it usually isn't?
