Ahead of the grouse season, the Countryside Alliance has produced a comprehensive Q&A briefing note on grouse shooting for parliamentarians which provides a factual response to the 10 most frequently raised issues about the sport and its associated moorland management. Despite the considerable environmental, economic and social importance of grouse shooting, there is often a lot of misunderstanding about it, and the purpose of the briefing note is to help MPs both when responding to any concerns which may be raised with them, and to ensure that they do not take at face value the unsubstantial and intentionally misleading claims that are all too often made by those calling for an end both to grouse shooting, and shooting in general.
