FEATURED KEY ISSUE

Gamebirds welfare code proposed for Wales
The Welsh Assembly Government has launched a consultation on a gamebirds welfare code, which ends on 16 April 2010. The code includes three options for the use of cages for pheasants and partridges. In its support for traditional game rearing practices BASC’s position on cages is to seek an end to the use of battery cages for pheasant egg production in the UK.
