Re: Is the driven grouse industry worth saving?

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't even achieve anything in terms of technical ability that cannot be achieved with clay pigeon shooting either. The beaters are regimented so carefully that you might as well shout "loose" to get the grouse to fly. Even the duck hunt arcade game has a higher technical skill level than driven grouse shooting. At least with walk up grouse shooting there is a level of technical skill, tracking, game identification, and randomness within it, driven grouse has none of those. It is bird shooting on easy mode.

I can't begin to imagine what the point would be, or how anyone could enjoy that, particularly considering all the work and damage...sheesh.

Re: Is the driven grouse industry worth saving?

It is a form of conspicuous consumption by the UK moneyed classes. They engage in it, and buy grouse moors, to show that they have money in amounts large enough for them to waste by doing so. Then the government gives them extra money in the form of land subsidies to do so too, and the government also has to pay for extra infrastructure in flood prone regions at the foot of grouse moors too. I do not understand it myself, but the government pays money to people who already have massive amounts to show they have massive amounts, and then has to pay again to fix some of the effects the industry has on national infrastructure.

Well, it's nice to know that the US govt. isn't alone in it's grotesque symbiosis with the filthy rich......
