Campaigners will be holding a protest ramble on Ilkley Moor this Saturday, 12 August, to oppose the last grouse shooting season permitted under Bradford Council’s controversial license.
Campaigners from Ban Bloodsports on Ilkley Moor (BBIM) are urging Bradford Council Leader Susan Hinchcliffe to not renew a grouse shooting licence for the public moor - the last municipal moorland in the country where the blood sport is still permitted.
The group claims fresh evidence has emerged showing that over half of breeding birds on Ilkley Moor have become locally extinct or declined by as much as 86 per cent, risking the site’s conservation designations. BBIM notes that wildlife biodiversity has tanked as a consequence of grouse shooting and related habitat-damaging management.
