Done, it's useful having the guidance as it seems many wouldn't do these surveys if they had to think off their own back

Seems to me the beginning of a dictatorship, when people start telling people what to do and say.

What a ......

The information is all there in the explanatory notes in the link that Connor posted. Or you can read the draft legislation if you want a bit more detail.

The legislation is unnecessary, over-complicated, emotive and unscientific, contrary to the findings of their own published reports, totalitarian (giving an animal charity powers to "investigate" wildlife crime?!? Removing any reasonable burden-of-proof before licence suspension?) and leaves shoots (initially Grouse Moors, but if you think it will end there then you are myopic) at the whim of Nature Scot and their cosy little ring of "Conservation NGO's" and Rewilding fanatics.

I realise straight from the off that there are plenty on here who will say "to hell with grouse moors, I don't agree with it anyway" (in fact, I can pretty much guess who two or three of them will be) but if anyone thinks for one second that the "I'm alright Jack" attitude will see them through when ScotGov set their next targets then they are a deluded simpleton.

This legislation will affect the survival of Lapwing, Curlew, Plover, Grouse and a host of other endangered birds. It will endanger the preservation of a large chunk of the entire planets remaining heather moorland (75% of which is in Scotland and Northern England if I am not mistaken). It will lead to an increase in the incidence of wildfire and will endanger a raft of jobs in rural Scotland. Important skillsets will be forever degraded or lost (especially wrt controlled burns).

This legislation is nothing more than an unfettered attack on rural Scotland and merely another salvo in the war against Fieldsports.

Can you explain what this bill will do to restrict shooting and management please ?IMHO, the worst thing is to give a 'charity' or other body an investigative power. I have had dealings in the past with the RSPCA and have to say what a crock of shite! their staff are on the whole good people, but a lot are driven by their ideals that all animals are good, people not. the ones that i met were largely abhorrent of shooting/hunting so a balanced investigation for which they are largely untrained. in a lot of the dealings that i had, they wanted the Police to 'bend' the rules so that did not had o follow protocols and get warrants etc.... does not bode well for any prosecutions. NE i have dealt with and they put people who are completely unknowing of the subject matter to make major decisions... eg wildfowling consents where the NE Officer on a site visit to an estuary asks when the beaters are sent out to drive the ducks off the water .... 'kin muppet! those are the type of people that they want to give investigative powers to. remember that while you are being inverstigated for a criminal issue then your FAC will likely be revoked and guns to be held/sold/disposed of.
