Today I am delivering leaflets – not through individual letterboxes but to a range of individuals who have offered to deliver leaflets. My journey today will take me from rural Northants to Royal Leamington Spa, on to less than royal Wolverhampton, on to Stourbridge, Kidderminster, the Welsh Marches, Bristol, Bath and Wiltshire – and then…

Prepare for the Inglorious 12th with a good read
‘A powerful indictment of the grouse-shooting industry‘ – The Guardian ‘No other book this year put the cat among the pigeons (or rather, the game birds) like Avery’s impassioned investigation into driven grouse shooting and its impact on moorland ecology‘ – The Times ‘This book pulls no punches…This is a book you must read whether…
Animal Aid video on grouse shooting
Here’s another organisation’s take on grouse shooting. This seems a pretty rational take on it too. If this video moves you – then please sign this e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting.
70,000 signatures
We have momentum! Thank you to everyone for your help and support. 70,000! The number of signatures already logged begins with a ‘7’ – which means that the number needed now begins with a ‘2’. That is achievable but not easy. We are going for it. Because 154 by 20 September is an important number…
Henry goes to Womad and more
Friday evening, Saturday, Sunday and this morning were spent at WOMAD in Wiltshire – I was doing some (very little) work there (about which, more tomorrow), but with Henry the Hen Harrier and some other friends several thousand leaflets were handed out plugging the e-petition.

Leaflets – update.
I’m very grateful to all those who have offered to deliver leaflets promoting the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting. You are a wonderful bunch! Demand for leaflets has exceeded supply (and funds) and so for now if you haven’t heard that you are getting some leaflets then you are on the waiting list. Over…
64,000 and 65,000
64,000 signatures and 65,000 signatures – we have momentum! Because 154 by 20 September is an important number for us (the average constituency must get 154 signatures by 20 September if we are to hit 100,000), I am showing you how many have already crossed that line with almost eight weeks still to go. Here…
LACS crowdfunder to support the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting
The League Against Cruel Sports has been a great supporter of the e-petition to ban driven grouse shooting. Thanks to a lot of people, including LACS, our e-petition has amassed over 65,000 signatures and stands a good chance of reaching 100,000 – and triggering a debate in parliament. But we need a big push over…
