I suspect you have not read the independent report above and your post is more about what you perceive to be a 'class thing'

Well you perceptions are wrong .
Why would you lose the land ?
If you had read my post I said that these birds are raised with more than half being imported form Europe as chicks .
Predators such as foxes and raptors are killed in order to preserve them for shooting by humans .
I am against killing for no good reason .
I like see a beautiful bird or animal alive not kill it for sport.

I do chuckle at your fluffy let's ban everything mentality, I think your ire should be directed elsewhere...thanks to Mups link I have extracted this for you

One proponent of the Victorian pastime of shooting red grouse on heather-clad uplands questions the “noisy” outrage over the shooting of a “few thousand” wild birds in a country that kills 700 million chickens at 34 days old. Another argues that anti-hunt sentiment is thriving online because social media creates fertile ground for simplistic arguments. Both are reasonable debating points, but they also reveal a hobby that is doomed to extinction.
