LEAF Speak Out: Difficult Questions - Sport/Hunting
Why do you shoot pheasants?
Like fishing, pheasant shooting is a country pursuit that some people choose to do. Many people who shoot aren’t farmers. Teachers, doctors, lawyers and many other people in society enjoy this sport. The pheasants are reared specifically for shoots. Some people who shoot pheasants make part of their living from supplying pheasants (game) to butchers and restaurants.
Why do you want to kill badgers?
Badgers have been proven to carry tuberculosis (TB) and the UK food standards will not allow animals with TB to supply our food chain. TB affects cows (milk and beef), deer (venison) and goats (milk and meat).
