Ruth Peacey, wildlife film maker who was voted Birdwatch magazine’s conservation hero of 2017 by readers, says:
‘I support the banning of driven grouse shooting because I am sick of hearing about the loss of so many birds of prey on or near these areas. These animals aren’t just “mysteriously disappearing”, they are being illegally killed to protect grouse in unnaturally high numbers. I think it is totally wrong that when people visit national parks, like the Cairngorms, they are unlikely to see hen harriers and golden eagles simply because they are the natural predators of a creature other people want to kill anyway.’

It’s a disgusting thing to do to the poor birds. Just for people greed.
