Westerners keeping birds sustainable for Westerners:

A third of shoots could be cancelled this year, as a shortage of birds threatens to cut off a “major lifeline” for rural communities.
...
An analysis by Guns on Pegs has estimated that gamekeepers will put down up to 40 per cent fewer birds compared with a normal season. About 30 to 40 per cent of shoots are expected to be cancelled completely.

It is warned that the cancellations will have a “catastrophic” impact on shoots, as well as pubs, hotels and country sport shops. Shooting is estimated to bring £2.5 billion to the rural economy and support tens of thousands of jobs.

“We will definitely have a shooting season,” he told The Telegraph. “But we will have to reduce the number of days pretty savagely, I don’t know exactly how many.

“It is not by any means what we would have wished for. People are just getting back on their feet after Covid. It is another small knife in the rural economy.”

Mr Breitmeyer said that whilst his small family shoot would be able to weather the storm, larger commercial operations and businesses that “live and breath shooting” will experience a “very, very significant downturn”.

Partridge and pheasant shoots, which begin in September and October, make preparations - such as planting cover for the benefit of game birds and other wildlife - now. They face losing that money if they later have to cancel.

Mr Breitmeyer said: “If we could get the eggs into the country now, then people could start the season later. They might be able to get two-thirds of a season.
...
The supply of partridges has been the worst hit, according to an analysis by Digby Taylor from Guns On Pegs, the UK’s biggest shooting marketplace which has more than 100,000 members.

He added that the issues have resulted in bidding wars on young birds, the price of which is already inflated due to rising costs of gas and wheat.

It is warned that the losses could also have a knock-on impact on future conservation efforts, to which gamekeepers are said to be central.

Garry Doolan, of Aim to Sustain, a coalition of shooting organisations, said: “Shooting sustains huge areas of the countryside and is at the forefront of tackling the biodiversity crisis through the creation of habitat and management of species.

"The shooting community will continue to carry out that role whether or not they have partridges and pheasants this season, but the loss of income is bound to have an impact on future investment in conservation”.

Best comment:

The ' shooting community " needs to examine their ethics and get another hobby imo . What is ethical or even sporting about bring in a bunch of birds releasing them and then murdering them ? The presence of mankind has been nothing but a horror show for the other creatures on this planet .

But at least the photo accompanying the article introduces us to a new non-Aryan face shape, the hexagon?
