A great discussion, lots of good points made. I think licensing of driven grouse shooting has to be seen just as a stepping stone towards banning it. (However there is the other possibility that it might gradually become uneconomic with, for example the stopping of Heather burning, and that I think this needs to be kept in mind). Nevertheless there are always going to be thugs, criminals and killers that like killing our wildlife for fun so, as was said, a licensing system, assuming it comes about, is not going to stop these types of people from doing their evil work. Therefore in the end when licensing is shown not to be working a complete ban will be the only answer.
I also agree with what Chris said and that Wild Justice are making these legal challenges because it is RIGHT to do so and because the Government bodies empowered to look after our wildlife such as Natural England can no longer be relied upon to act in the right way and in the interests of our wildlife. This is often because Government politicians are endeavouring to control these statutory wildlife bodies by, amongst other things starving them of funds, so as to protect their own vested interests.
