The UK Government has said that it has "no plans to ban driven grouse shooting" after a petition on the subject surged towards 50,000 signatures.

The petition response said that the government "recognises well-managed grouse shooting can be an important part of a local rural economy", adding that "well-managed shooting activities can bring benefits to the rural economy and can be beneficial for wildlife and habitat conservation."

The petition was started in late November by Wild Justice – a non-profit environmental organisation run by Chris Packham, Dr Ruth Tingay and Dr Mark Avery. As of 22 January, it had garnered almost 48,000 signatures.
