and commercial #predator #breeding industry, many #HuntingOrganisations condemn the practice, and even the South African government recognises that the industry makes no contribution to wildlife conservation and is entirely profit-driven.

It was my great pleasure to once again welcome to my show Dr David Scallan, the Secretary General of the European Federation for Hunting and Conservation (FACE). It has been over three years since the last time we spoke on the podcast. So I felt that it was high time to talk with David again as there is a lot going on for hunters and hunting organisations at the moment.

We discuss a range of topics that are important to hunters: the inevitable ban on ammunition containing lead, the public perception of hunting in Europe, the need for change in hunting organisations and the proposed EU Nature Restoration Law. It was a great conversation and if you are a hunter or just interested in nature conservation you should definitely listen to this one.
