Help BASC challenge ban on shooting in Wales

[Debbie BASC]

Help BASC challenge ban on shooting in Wales
 
The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) has launched a dedicated webpage to help challenge the ban on shooting on public land in Wales.
 
The page (https://basc.org.uk/nrw/) allows all residents of Wales to contact their Assembly Member at the click of a button.
 
The page also allows those outside Wales to contact the office of Hannah Blythyn AM and Natural Resources Wales using pre-written text to convey their concerns and disappointment at the decision.
 
BASC Wales director Steve Griffiths said: “The manner in which Hannah Blythyn has interfered in the outcome of an evidence-based consultation and review to impose the will of anti-shooting extremists should be a wake-up call to every shooter.”
 
The organisation is also asking members to watch and share a short film which highlights the economic, employment and social benefits shooting brings to Wales.
 
Please visit: https://youtu.be/zjJJJ68MImg and pass on the link to friends and family, either by email or social media.

Don’t forget to tag in @hannahblythyn and @NatResWales.

The responses to this thread thusfar have been removed. 

We have stated before that the instant, kneejerk sledging of reps from shooting organisations who attempt to communicate is no longer welcome on the forum.  If you want to do that, go elsewhere and do it.

Apologies to those whose posts did not fall into the above category, but the simplest thing to do was clear out the lot.

Emails sent, heavily edited to push the"evidence-based policy" argument harder. I have never shot in Wales, and am not likely to, but the process-based argument is a difficult one for the minister to defend.

If the LACS poll suggesting that "71% of people in Wales don't support have shooting anywhere" was soundly run, the NRW report would have included it. The fact that it wasn't even mentioned in the report suggests that the poll was extremely selective, and quite possibly not independently run (and hence inadmissible as contaminated data).

As yet no response from either.

I live in Wales and sent an edited email to four AMs. So far only one has bothered to reply. People might be interested to read this.

BASC where involved in the initial consultation. What will you be doing differently now that the decision has been made?

A breath of fresh air well done.
