Remember, Gunmen not Marksmen will kill Badgers
Guest post by Lawrie Phipps, Vice Chair, League Against Cruel Sports and avid birder: What’s in a name? Quite a lot actually. Sometimes an accidental naming through translation can have comedy results such as when advertising copy in Italy for UK-owned Schweppes Tonic Water encouraged Italians to mix their gin with “Schweppes Toilet Wat ...

Ecological collapse: is this warning stark enough…
just 100 years ago it would have been almost inconceivable for any of us to contemplate the reality that we could be destroying life on Earth. Wildlife seemed abundant and was being shot or collected in vast numbers, the global population was less than 2 billion, and the industrial revolution was in full swing.

VegFestUK hits Bristol
How could I stay away? I live near Bristol, the sun was shining this weekend, and thousands of like-minded, animal-loving, empathetic, caring people would be in one place to enjoy great vegan food and innovative vegan products.

In 2012 news emerged that the Department for the Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) was offering hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayer money to research the best way to control buzzards. This ‘control’ might, the report stated, include destroying nests, ‘relocating’ birds and taking buzzards into captivity. Buzzards, now once again ...
No Splat No Bat
I’ve just finished two evening of bat transect surveys near Swindon, covering farmland that unless something miraculous happens (eg the discovery of a very large colony of very rare orchids or very rare bumblebees, or a ‘buried just below the surface’ vast munitions dump) will soon be concreted over and turned into yet another blo ...
Grumpy Old Birder #40 – The No Show Man
“…the warm water running down my face, wasn’t – it was a red liquid better kept inside my inner tubes…” Bo Beolens, the Fatbirder, was meant to give a talk at the recent Scottish Birdfair but didn’t make it further than south-east England. Here he explains – with a poignant honesty – exactly wh ...
Caught – the evil business of snaring
Talking Naturally was at the House of Commons yesterday for the launch of a campaign by the League against Cruel Sports (League) to ban the use of snares – wire nooses used to (supposedly) just restrain target species until they can be humanely killed, but which often garrottes them, slices them through to the bone, and which routinely catch ...
