“Situated in the heart of Yorkshire, Ilkley Rugby Club remains a strictly amateur club that caters for Senior and Junior teams in various leagues…” Odd that rugby – a sport of genuine challenge, fair play, effort, rules, and where any blood spilled is at least their own – should host an evening of shooting – a ‘sport’ that is really an industry selling animals as live targets – but then if a ground has a clubhouse, shooting will look to get into it. Shooting lobbyists BASC held a ‘Pie and Pea Supper’ at Ilkley Rugby Club in October 2024, an evening subtitled ‘Let’s talk about Shooting’. Okay, then, let’s do that: shooting is millions of dead birds, is countless numbers of dead mammals caught in traps and snares, is lead and smoke pollution, is a killing industry in a country with a hugely depleted biodiversity, has no place in an age of climate change and awareness of sentience, and needs to be gone…that do you?
