A campaign to support British game rearers has been launched by the UK’s largest shooting organisation, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC). It aims to encourage all gamekeepers, shoot owners and shoot managers to source their eggs and young birds from local producers who use traditional methods and high welfare standards.
