End Bird Shooting

Fighting to end all bird shooting in the UK. A campaign by Protect the Wild
The bird shooting industry doesn't want you to see scenes like this. Found at Cambrian Birds’ hatchery this little life stood no chance of surviving. Millions of birds are factory farmed every year in the uk for paying clients to shoot out of the sky for fun.
Our investigator heard faint cheeping from a skip piled with broken eggshells at a commercial pheasant farm. The chick was rescued but sadly died. A tiny life treated as disposable by an industry that breeds tens of millions of birds to be shot for ‘sport’
Did you know millions of birds are factory farmed to supply shooting estates?
This is the sheer scale of the bird shooting industry that they don't want the public to see!
Taking applications to grow out our team to End Bird Shooting!
The British Association for Shooting and Conservation has applied to add ring-necked and monk parakeets to the official list of birds that can be hunted for sport.
A powerful symbol. Dismantling the shooting industry. END BIRD SHOOTING.
This is gross. The NGO has launched a UK Parliament petition asking the government to amend Schedule 2.1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to list cormorants, goosanders and red-breasted mergansers as species that may be managed outside the close season.
The bird shooting industry hates us right now. Which is good. It means we're doing something right. They hate the fact their industry is being exposed to millions of people.
SHARE if you agree and want to see an end to the bird shooting industry!
This is the reality of the bird shooting industry. Not rolling hills. Not "conservation". Not countryside romance. Just workers carrying terrified pheasants by their legs in a system that breeds and releases millions of birds to be shot for fun. If this image makes you uncomfortable, it should.
This image shows a pheasant being fitted with "spectacles" - a plastic device attached to the beak to stop birds attacking each other in overcrowded cages. Instead of fixing the conditions, the shooting industry restrains the birds. It's factory farming for sport.
Beak guards exist for one reason: the shooting industry crams millions of pheasants into conditions so stressful that they injure each other. Instead of giving birds more space, it clips plastic restraints onto their beaks. The problem isn't the birds. It's the system.
We present the vile bird shooting industry where Pheasants and Partridges are fitted with plastic devices to stop them attacking each other out of stress.
Things we love to see! A recent poll conducted by FindOutNow found 53% want bird shooting to be illegal.
Bird shooting is built on so much animal suffering. From the countless predators trapped and killed in snares to the birds that are blasted out of the sky. This whole industry needs to be brought down and we won’t stop until we’ve done that. Drop us a follow if you’re with us!
Why? Because these poor factory farmed birds attack each other out of stress so the shooting industry puts these "bits" on them to prevent it from happening.
Many of us won’t have seen these things before, but what you are seeing are called beak guards — or “bits”. They’re placed on “game” birds to prevent them from attacking each other out of stress. How about not intensively farming these birds in the first place!
