Grouse about ‘propaganda’

-

I read an article in The Independen­t recently about Wild Justice pushing for licensed grouse shooting. It said that grouse estates depend on having “unnaturall­y high densities of red grouse that live in artificial­ly maintained landscapes rich in heather”. I think this is rubbish. If the BASC, the National Gamekeeper­s’ Organisati­on and other countrysid­e groups can change the way hundreds of thousands of shooters ‘choose’ their ammunition within a short space of time, surely they can counter this seriously damaging propaganda?
