Animal Aid

Pheasant shooting is big business in the UK. It subjects millions of artificially-hatched birds to the rigours of intensive farming; threatens the environment; kills nearly 5 million birds and mammals in predatory control programmes each year; and dumps tonnes of lead shot on the countryside.

Animal Aid's harrowing report - The Killing Fields - reveals the massive scale of cruelty and environmental devastation caused by the pheasant shooting industry. The report is supported by undercover video.
