Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Bloodbath

BY ALEXIA JAMES A Failure of Conservation: Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Pack Pay the Ultimate Price for Captivity The recent announcement from Wildwood Trust, near Herne Bay, that it euthanised its entire wolf pack is being framed as a tragic inevitability—a “heartbreaking decision” forced by the breakdown of the pack’s social dynamics. But to accept this narrative without question is to ignore the fundamental cruelty inherent … Continue reading Wildwood Trust’s Wolf Bloodbath

The Parasite of Animal Rights

BY JOHN NASH Hunting’s Parasite. How animal rights ideology infiltrates conservation—and kills its host There is a danger, Dear Reader, that the people closest to the practical business of wildlife conservation fail to understand the political threat creeping quietly through our world. Gamekeepers, rangers, game managers, veterinarians, and landowners are, by necessity, grounded in reality. They deal with animals as animals—living, breeding, dying, competing—inside complex … Continue reading The Parasite of Animal Rights

Let’s Drink at the Old Bulldog

BY BRIAN MONTEITH Is the Jolly Fisherman really under threat? The town mascot of bracing Skegness, created in 1908 by the Great Northern Railway to encourage day-trippers and holidaymakers to wet their feet in the resort’s lapping North Sea waves, has been condemned by the animal rights group PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Shock, outrage, and impossible demands that have no reasonable … Continue reading Let’s Drink at the Old Bulldog

Time to Save Animals from PETA

BY BRIAN MONTEITH You know a political campaign is struggling to be heard when it resorts to shock tactics you wouldn’t want your kids to see in order to gain publicity. There’s a lot of such desperation going about, from the doom-mongering antics of Chris Packham covered in these pages here, to the promotion of transgender ideology using drag artists in primary schools, for the … Continue reading Time to Save Animals from PETA

Time to ROAR

BY JOHN NASH Readers of Country Squire Magazine will know that I often write about the fatuous brain-fart called animal rights, a mental parasite of ‘academics’ and well-fed, well-protected, largely urban civilians who are completely isolated from the natural world, leaving them with absolutely no understanding where their food or property actually come from. They are the majority in any modern democracy and by the … Continue reading Time to ROAR

Bear Truths

BY JOHN NASH Dear Reader, it is time to reach for the ivory panic bars on either side of your commode. We bring to you a sensational revelation. On 15th February, The Guardian dramatically revealed, “WWF helping facilitate trade in polar bear fur, investigation reveals. Wildlife charity backs policy of exploitation of small number of some endangered species for economic purposes – such as trophy hunting”, written … Continue reading Bear Truths

Hunting Trophies for Cash

BY JOHN NASH The dreadful Eduardo Gonçalves, operator of the uber-deceitful and frankly political Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (that has nothing to do with animals other than their use as a Trojan horse to access donations and  influence), is in fact a trophy hunter himself – he head-hunts actors, politicians, celebrities and anyone else who makes a living out of pretence, baiting them with addictive offers of unlimited, … Continue reading Hunting Trophies for Cash

A Review of ‘Animal Rights: Complete & Utter Bullsh*t’

BY JAMIE FOSTER A Hilariously Honest Look at the Animal Rights Debate John Nash’s ‘Animal Rights: Complete & Utter Bullsh*t’ isn’t your typical animal rights book.  Forget the preachy tone and guilt-tripping; Nash delivers a refreshing, irreverent, and ultimately insightful exploration of this complex and often-polarised topic. He achieves this through a blend of sharp wit, historical context, and a healthy dose of common sense, … Continue reading A Review of ‘Animal Rights: Complete & Utter Bullsh*t’

Rock and Roleplay

BY JOHN NASH Here follows a heartwarming story of sincerity and animal love for you:   On November 18th, a whole swathe of media outlets, no doubt fed by that deceptive propagandist and shyster Eduardo Gonçalves, including the heavy metal and hard rock website Blabbermouth, reported that Ozzy Osbourne, the unreliable junkie frontman, kicked out of the band Black Sabbath way back in 1979, has … Continue reading Rock and Roleplay

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Spite

BY JOHN NASH On Saturday 12th October, The Express sprinkled upon its online readers yet more blatant hatemongering against hunters, reigniting the Campaign to Undermine Parliament by the shyster Eduardo Gonçalves and his political stunt, the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting (CBTH). In the article, a glittering assortment of Gonçalves’ celebrity donkeys simultaneously demonstrated their gullibility and ignorance by repeating his poisonous political mantra – … Continue reading Tiger, Tiger, Burning Spite

Animal Wrongs

BY JOHN NASH For the benefit of Volk Starmer, the Israel disarmer, and his red (nose) government with the long rubber shoes – what is the difference between human rights and animal rights? That’s easy. Outside the Labour Party, human rights are very, very important, and animal rights do not exist. It’s difficult to explain to politicians using crayons and alphabet blocks, but here goes. … Continue reading Animal Wrongs

WANTED: Your Children for Animal Rising’s Training Camps

BY ALEXIA JAMES Terrorism involves violence or the threat of violence for political or ideological reasons, causing fear and disruption. While Animal Rising’s tactics are primarily disruptive, focusing on non-violent protests, some of their actions have caused significant disruption and damage and their civil disobedience methods have frequently resulted in its members being arrested. Their methods include graffiti, destruction of property, blockading and preventing food … Continue reading WANTED: Your Children for Animal Rising’s Training Camps

Big Cats Make Fat Cats

BY JOHN NASH Silly season August it is, and World Lion Day on the 10th has seen the publication of another soppy-science report, this time in Nature Conservation, a publication that “strongly encourages papers on ethical… issues related to the management and use of biodiversity and ecosystems” but then also rejects manuscripts of “low scientific quality”.  How it squares the circle between an unscientific ethical … Continue reading Big Cats Make Fat Cats

Yearning for Importance

BY JOHN NASH & DOMINIC WIGHTMAN An excerpt from Nash & Wightman’s ‘Dear Townies’ (Western, 2024). Animal Rights organisations like PETA are powerfully supported by actors and celebrities, occupations that are situated far to the left, female side of the cave, just about as far from the doorway and ‘outdoor’ reality as you can get. It is ironic, and not a little hypocritical, that the … Continue reading Yearning for Importance

The Unsellable Religion

BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN Imagine that you are handed the task of selling a new group to the Great British Public. You are given a sandwich board and some leaflets to distribute on Oxford Street. You seek both new members and funds. You have a choice of 3 groups. Choose one from the 3 following leaflet messages to decide which group you prefer to sell:  Now … Continue reading The Unsellable Religion

The Neo-Colonialism of Animal Rights in India

BY RYAN LOBO For centuries, Jallikattu’s cultural reverberations have gone far beyond current definitions of the event – a sacred rite of passage with characteristics of folk craft, ritual, festival and sport, integral to animal husbandry and tradition, providing millions of farmers with entertainment, connection to the sacred and a profound sense of cultural belonging. Unsurprisingly, massive protests rocked Tamil Nadu after the Nagaraja case … Continue reading The Neo-Colonialism of Animal Rights in India

Stoats & Weasels

BY JOHN NASH On 16th June, the political correspondent of that deeply respected British repository of truth and good taste that is the Mirror reported, in its usual ignorant, countryside hate-mongering way, on the House of Lords leg of the passage of the disingenuous Hunting Trophies (Import Prohibition) Bill.   This bill should be of great interest to the excellent and refined readers of Country … Continue reading Stoats & Weasels

Horns of a Dilemma

BY JOHN NASH The cerebral world of academia has given gas-and-air birth to another classical study for the world’s edification and delight, published a couple of months ago in People and Nature and in Popular Science.  Four eminent researchers have postulated that rhino horns are becoming smaller and conclude that selective human hunting might be to blame, saying, “we found evidence of declining horn size … Continue reading Horns of a Dilemma

Animal Rights Con Artists Infiltrate UK Parliament

BY JOHN NASH I love this land, so it has taken a couple of days to calm down enough to write this piece. To the utter shame of our Parliament, some of our MPs met on the 25th of January to “discuss” a Private Members Bill to prohibit the importation of hunting trophies into the UK and move it on to the next stage. Even by … Continue reading Animal Rights Con Artists Infiltrate UK Parliament

Gale: Hypocrisy on Speed

BY JOHN NASH Anxieties offer potential to the unscrupulous and one of the UK’s most unscrupulous exploiters of the fictitious “imaginary evil hunter causing species extinction” is Eduardo Gonçalves and his “Ban Trophy Hunting” company. He feeds the extinction-anxious, the media and politicians alike with a constant stream of displacement nonsense and his hysterical “revelations” about the sins of the imaginary evil hunter. Quite openly … Continue reading Gale: Hypocrisy on Speed
