Demonising the hedgehog!
"Anthony E Anson" wrote in message ... The message from "BAC" contains these words: I sympathise with the waders. Hedgehogs in the wrong place are pests, and the Outer Hebrides is the wrong place. Which is why the Hedgehog Welfare Charities are trying to remove them. It is SNH's insistence on killing the hedgehogs they capture, rather than handing them over for relocation, which is the root of the problem. I'm quite in sympathy with that aim, though that in itself presents welfare (and possibly fatal) problems for the urchins. Organisations like St Tiggywinkles and the BHPT are not in the business of deliberate or reckless torture of hedgehogs, and have many years practical experience in the rehabilitation and release of hedgehogs. If they feel the translocation project is feasible, and their membership and the public is prepared to fund it, I see no good reason why SNH should deny them the opportunity. The Uist Wader Group's recommendation was that there should have been a pilot 'official' translocation scheme this year, to test survival of translocated specimens, but, for some unknown reason, SNH decided to avoid testing their pessimistic theories, and to press on with killing all the animals they captured. |

SNH did this because the relocation would expose the lie they use to slaughter millions of animals every year. There is no practical non lethal measure of control. It's crap and they have now been caught out. -- So, you dont like reasoned, well thought out, civil debate?
