🦅Thanks to keen-eyed locals who reported Moscar gamekeepers skulking about with live birds in traps. Masked, armed men patrol the Peak District National Park, which is *incidentally* a hotspot for wildlife crime. Be vigilant! Corvid traps are regularly used in raptor persecution
▪️STINK PITS & SNARES have no place in national parks, least of all on Yorkshire Water 💧 land!
▪️Gamekeepers at Thurlstone Moor dumped bodies and set snares directly above the reservoir.
▪️Customers are forced to prop up this carnage, while wealthy landowners take tax subsidies.
📢Please be alert for snares and stink pits in the Peak District National Park this weekend.
🐾Gamekeepers target our wild species in order to raise grouse to be shot for fun.
📸Be vigilant, record, report and help end the carnage.

A total ban on snares is backed by the public and dozens of animal welfare organisations.
Both the Welsh & Scottish governments have banned them.
Why are snares still being used in England Rebecca Pow Defra UK ?

Momentum is building against the unnecessary killing of animals on grouse moors which takes place - so more grouse can be shot for sport.
Over 3 quarters of Scots are against this Killing to Kill
