“The crooked Billet has been running under landlady Laura and her team since January 2013…The pub is situated just outside the village of Saxton… the Crooked Billet is now a popular place to visit by all walks of life.” Ironically currently featuring a warm review from a customer just back from the Yorkshire Wildlife Park on its website, the Billet is yet another North Yorkshire venue to have bought fully into the normalisation of killing birds by the shooting industry – trumpeting what a ‘pleasure’ it was to host a shooting estate’s end of season dinner. No mention of the dead birds, the noise, the lead shot, or that because of its numerous shoots the county is repeatedly the worst in England for raptor persecution, of course. Nothing must be allowed to impinge on the ‘pleasure’ of blowing birds out of the sky…
