Your full guide to what happens at puppy shows
It's that time of year again when hunts host their annual puppy show. Usually held at the hunt kennels, these are one of the most highly anticipated events of the summer hunting calendar, particularly for the puppy walkers who take great pride in seeing how their former residents have developed and settled back into kennel life.
Debate on Packham’s petition to ban driven grouse shooting
MPs will be debating Wild Justice’s latest petition to ban driven grouse shooting in Westminster Hall on Monday 30 June. During the last debate on this subject in June 2021 it was clearly shown there was no evidence to substantiate the sweeping claims that were being made by Wild Justice in their attempt to drive forward their anti-shooting agenda. Since then, the evidence in support of grouse shooting and its associated integrated moorland management has only increased further.

Stop the government restricting gun ownership
Take part in our new e-lobby to safeguard the future of shooting in England, Scotland and Wales. The government is preparing to consult on restricting shotgun ownership by aligning parts of firearms licensing legislation. This would have huge impacts on the shooting community, the rural economy and conservation, without improving public safety. We need everyone who loves shooting and the countryside to take part.

Tim Bonner: When is a BBC Presenter not a BBC Presenter?
The BBC is not responsible for a BBC presenter writing in BBC Wildlife Magazine. On the face of it a ludicrous statement, but sadly not one that is surprising for those of us when have experience of the Byzantine operations of the BBC. Last month BBC Wildlife Magazine published an error strewn and deeply biased article on grouse shooting by Mark Carwardine who describes himself in the magazine and elsewhere as a “BBC TV presenter”.
