Every year in Britain, some 35 million pheasants and millions more partridges are mass produced inside hatcheries and rearing sheds. From the sheds, they are moved to fattening pens before being released to serve as feathered targets for shooters.
The Labour government should not be actively supporting this barbaric industry and we call upon them to stop promoting killing for 'sport' and ban game bird shooting.
