In 24 hours, this petition to ban driven grouse shooting has gained 24,000 signatures.
Yet another sign that this is where all the momentum is. So why the heck is @Natures_Voice (the RSPB) still calling for "licensing" it? Wake up RSPB, and lead!

Why do our big conservation NGOs seem to be asleep on the job, while individual ecologists and tiny groups do the hard work?
The RSPB calling for driven grouse shooting to be licensed is the equiv of Greenpeace calling for coal power to be licensed. It should be unthinkable.
We are a nation of wildlife lovers. But the big conservation groups have completely failed to translate this love into mass action against the ecological destruction taking place all round us. They are conservative and timid where they should be bold, radical and decisive.
