Artist Jackie Morris says;
‘The language we use when it comes to our fellow species on this planet needs to change.
Birds are not commodities to be exploited for sport, and the persecution of raptors and other wildlife in areas where shooting is practiced is appalling.
The industrialisation of the ‘shoot’ has given rise to practices that are not good for wildlife, for the environment.
We have a responsibility to the land, to the wildlife, to people of the future to ensure that we leave the land in a better condition than we inherited it. Harriers are a mark of the health of the land, the sky and they have suffered because of the culture that is practiced by the driven grouse shooting industry. We owe it to our children that one day they may stand on the land and watch these birds coursing the sky.
It’s time to make a change. Ban driven grouse shooting.‘

Wow, thanks for supporting this.
Amongst other things Jackie has also done some rather good pictures of polar bears, dragons, hares, wolves, ravens, snow leopards ….
