Scottish Government considers ban on snares

BASC’s shoot visits have been taken up by more than 300 shoots this year, and are on target to hit 400 by the end of 2021.

BASC has issued a reminder of the legal obligations of shoots releasing gamebirds on or within 500m of a European Protected Site in England.

BASC is committed to seeing tougher penalties imposed under the Government’s new Animal Welfare Bill for those found guilty of gamebird worrying.
