[QUOTE="Agrivator, post: 6562618, member: 461"] In the past, Gamekeepers were responsible for maintaining a balance between predators and their prey. A decline over recent years in the number of Gamekeepers ( and poachers) has seen a significant increase in favour of predators. Banning grouse shooting will accelerate the decline in game keepers and leave the hills and uplands devoid of ground-nesting birds. I wonder where members of the Labour Party have gained experience of hill farming and its interaction with grouse-shooting interests. And it is also worth pointing out that youngsters brought up in grouse shooting areas and who had/have the opportunity to earn a few bob ''driving grouse'' to the gentry in the butts, also had/have the opportunity to meet (at a distance) members of the aristocracy et al, and to obtain an insight into a different way of speaking and behaving. And it is also educational from a sociological aspect to see how the gamekeepers dress on such occasions and how they interact with their bosses!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
