Gamekeepers on Grouse moors utilise a sinister array of lethal devices to snare native predators of the beloved farmed grouse, destined to be shot for human pleasure and game meat. Wildlife Matters is exposing the tools used by Gamekeepers – some legal, some illegal, but all in everyday use – to trap, injure and kill our native wildlife.
In Wildlife Matters Investigates, we ask, "Are we subsidising wildlife persecution on the UK grouse moors?" Many understand that hill farming is a very tough way of life – for people. Most hill farmers get by on very little income and are dependent upon CAP subsidies to survive. The other use of UK uplands is grouse moors – used by shooting parties to kill grouse for pleasure.
