It’s a massive problem, so many people often in positions of power and influence get pheasant shooting as their only time in the countryside. What they get told by the pheasant shooting business has a significant impact on countryside policy.
And of course pheasants utterly devastate the fauna of the land where they’re released.
The estate I work in has no shooting, but the whole site teems with them from the neighbouring estate, so the effort put in to increase biodiversity is hampered, to put it mildly.
We think someone from that estate came and hid in the woods for a while with a gun and waited till one of the countless kites came within range.

The whole pheasant shooting industry is a stain on this country. 45 million birds released into the wild each year, solely for the elite to blow apart with expensive shotguns. Cunts.
