Stop shooting birds
TRAVELLING along Bullerthorpe Lane on Saturday, 26 January, I was shocked and saddened to see in a field opposite the woodland path, which is a regular beauty spot for people who take their children and family pets into the woods and grounds of Temple Newsam, men being used as beaters to frighten birds into the air for others to shoot them.
There are many beautiful birds living in this area and they are now in danger of being shot just for someone's idea of sport.
I am totally against this and hope others who care will be too. I am sure if food is what these so-called hunters require there is a well stocked supermarket within walking distance. I sincerely hope something can be done to stop this now.
