Shooting Campaign

The League Against Cruel Sports works to end the terrible suffering of game birds, for the sake of 'sport'.

Over 35 million pheasants and 6.5 million partridges are produced to be used as live targets in the UK each year. These birds are often reared in appalling, battery conditions; and the misery doesn't end there - all kinds of wildlife suffer at the hands of the shoot, in the name of predator control. 

The shooting industry would have us believe that game birds are nature's stock and that the yearly slaughter is a necessary control of numbers - benefitting the country-side and furnishing our tables with organic, free-range fare.

Sadly the reality is very different.
