A Brighton University professor has called for a ban on magazines that celebrate shooting wildlife.
Peter Squires, professor of criminology at the university, added his voice to the debate in an article for Animal Aid.
Professor Squires, one of Britain’s leading experts on gun control, said: “It seems imperative that shooting magazines celebrating the casual cruelty of shooting wild animals – a kind of ‘shooting porn’ – should not be on sale to children and young people under 18 and that shops and retail outlets selling such magazines should position them both out of reach and sight.”
