Ross Greer is absolutely right. How on earth was this ever allowed. Honestly it's about time these rich morons were stopped from profiteering off the backs of animal cruelty.

Everyday I listen to the news and everyday I hear how the government is trying to balance the books and wondering where the money is coming from to pay for struggling public services. Well this could help in a small way. Not only are the wealthy landowners receiving tax breaks for this barbaric so called sport, it would not come as a surprise these very same wealthy landowners are evading tax too in a big way. That I am sure will bring far more money into the governments coffers. These wealthy, greedy landowners are a burden on our society, its time our governments crack down on these leaches.

It's scandalous that most members of the public in Scotland are probably unaware of this! It needs exposure and Mr Greer needs all the support possible; he has a big task on his hands!

Well done Ross Greer 👍👏✊❤️💖💖!! I wish him the best of luck with this 🤞! I just keep thinking how much better off ALL animals, the environment and the public (aka the taxpayers) would be if all shooting was completely banned and all that land was either rewilded and left wild and/or put to use to help animals, the environment and the public. Strange though how governments go on and on about "financial black holes", "economic stagnation" and how they "must make cuts" yet they never seem to make the logical connections that they could save money and lives by just doing simple and easy things such as banning completely uneccessary shooting, stopping the scientifically flawed badger "cull" now (and not in 5 years time!), swapping the abhorrent bear skin hats (which taxpayers also pay millions for) with the FREE (until 2030) identical ones offered by PETA and ECOPEL etc. If a "normal" member of the public can put 2 and 2 together and see that, then why can't governments?!
