Up to almost one fifth of Scottish land is used to shoot hundreds of thousands of Grouse in the space of 4 months every year.

The distribution of a pharmaceutical drug across the landscape and into the food chain represents a level of intensification that transforms moorland from a semi-natural environment into a quasi-domesticated farmed environment.

Thousands of snares and traps litter Scotland's countryside and just like landmines, they indiscriminately kill, maim and wound our wildlife.

Fencing to keep deer out and sheep (which act as tick mops) in, can block access and are often visually intrusive.

Grouse are killed with shotguns using lead shot. It is known to pose significant threat to human health and wildlife health.

The killing of wildlife on driven grouse moors is a relentless, year-round slaughter, carried out to ensure high stocks of red grouse are available for recreational shooting.

Each year, an average of 26,000 mountain hares are killed across Scotland.
