JMT ‘clear on deer’ events

[Auroch]

This popped up in my facebook feed - seems like it’ll be a bit of an echo chamber with a whole load of JMT members watching a film commissioned by the JMT. Frustratingly I’ve got a friend involved in buying up tracts of land on behalf of a large institution in order to offset their carbon footprint who uses literature produced by the JMT as the ‘evidence’ base for some of his entirely theoretical understanding of deer management - when you see events like this advertised it’s not hard to see why their narrative gains traction with the general public.

Should be titled 'Clearing the Deer (and the locals too!)'

Glasgow is on there list i might go and ask some question that might be hard to answer in an urban area,

 

[Husky]

Interesting that there is no screening in Sutherland and nothing in Inverness or Aviemore.

Bet they don't have one in Assynt either

Aye, Id guess the odds will be heavily stacked against that happening.

Although I'm sure a "Few" from the Assynt area will make the trip to Ullapool.

I'll be going.

Be prepared to have crystals, lentil teabags and hemp handbags thrown at you by their fervent supporters.... And endure endless droning about grouse moors.

I’m going….morning curiosity….

There’s a screening in Sheffield on September 13th. Tickets are free so I’m going along to see what they say. Agree with others, it seems odd to be touring England but not showing this in the highlands.

I’m interested to hear what people say in response to the film.

Why bother courting support from the places you're about to f***k ?

IMO, timing it to September, and mostly weekdays, means they want as few people as possible from the country/fieldsports backgrounds to attend.

Reading it they want public support after they have messed up so many times. This is a free event but it is made clear they are looking for donations so they are also after money from the brain washed public. The are a very smooth machine and will convince many that what they do is for the good.

Surprised that JMT have not declared that their culls are somehow linked to resolving CV19, Ukraine and the Israel-Palestine conflict...

A few quick sums and it's clear that getting some hired guns in (along with CEO) negates any 'carbon savings' from culling deer:
