INSIDE OUT: Investigating the pheasant shooting industry

http://www.animalaid.org.uk/h/n/NEWS/news_shooting/ALL/1688//
An East Midlands television programme to be screened tonight (7
November) at 19.30 will be of interest to all who are opposed to the
cruelty of game bird shooting. Inside Out is a half hour regional
current affairs programme which presents matters of public interest.

In this edition, the Inside Out team investigate pheasant rearing and
shooting. Animal Aid's own Shooting Consultant Kit Davidson
contributed to the programme which features video images and comment
on the controversial raised laying cage installations. These
contraptions, sometimes described as barren cages, will be made
illegal for poultry in 2012, but not for pheasants. Animal Aid was
responsible for first bringing the inhumanity of these barren cages to
the attention of the British public and government.

One significant barren cage operator runs his business without
planning consent in the MIdlands. Animal Aid has been active in
assisting local residents to oppose the cages and obtain an
enforcement notice from the planning authority for their removal.

Viewers outside of the East Midlands area may view the programme at
the same time on Sky channel 980, or can watch it afterwards on the
Inside Out website.
