I sat next to the headkeeper at Snilesworth at lunch earlier this month nice guy! Johnny Goodhart is the one shooting.

Jo Vaagan no you don't.

Matunder1 it's looks fun (I grouse beat)

You have never done this have you? The moors are full of life. If you want barren, try a desert.

No I haven't done, don't need to. However your claim the moors are full of life is rubbish. I spent 34 days on moors since May and they are devoid of wildlife, everything geared to maximising grouse numbers at expense of most others.

Matunder1 It's green isn't it? That's life and a lot more than most places. Just n a moor today and enjoyed every minute of it.

It's clay shooting in the olympics and it's you're not your! www.grammar-monster.com/easily_confused/youre_your.htm. I will not stay out of others traditions when those traditions ruin vast areas of my country!

"Why should it be banned"? Why not ban people like you who want to ban everything. I bet you don't even understand Grouse shooting. Why is it harming you?

Goerge_W_Hayduke First of all, don't be such a nag. Every single animal in nature knows it is eat or be eaten. Do you think that when a fox gets up to a bird it kills it an an cleaner way than a gun does? Why are you so distanced of nature? You are not a part of any process in nature, yet you talk about it as if you know everything. Also, most likely you are a meat-eater. So in fact you gave order to kill an animal. That's the way the market works. It is legal for a reason.

Olaf Peters this vile activity is no part of nature, it is senseless destruction of nature. this is the sport of a coward against a defenseless animal that cannot fight back. as a vegan I view all killing unnecessary but especially the type you perversely enjoy

Typical vegan response.'Why do you people want to extinguish everything that is good in the countryside?.'You are not satisfied until you have tried to ban everything. The Grouse shooting report went in favour of (Grouse shooting), so for once it showed the animal -rights nutters for what they are. I was Grouse shooting this season on several different moorland estates and it was wonderful as always. Grouse shooting will be around for a very long time.

Olaf, the veggies and animal -rights brigade want to try and force their somewhat misguided opinions upon others and they certainly have no knowledge of country sports or issues within the countryside."We don't force them to eat meat, so of course I find it extremely offensive when such buffoons want to force their opinions upon us."The truth was, that the Grouse debate went in favour of shooting and saw the 'Chris Packham and "Mark Avery" for what they are. Mark Avery's attitude, arrogance and total lack of knowledge and untruths didn't help his cause.'We also know what (Chris Packham) is like! The animal-rights nutters "MUST" accept that Grouse shooting has so many advantages for wildlife and the countryside. "Forget about the half baked comments from the veggies as they are living in cloud Cuckoo land! I find these morons totally repugnant in their behaviour and their insane jealousy and attitude towards any type of field sports."They have proved on so many occasions their hatred for people, especially towards the hunting fraternity. 'It just makes myself more determined to keep going".According to the dimwit of buffoonery, namely Sprinch, he said Grouse Shooting is getting banned. How wrong he was!
