'Helen',
I meant www.google.com. Sorry about that little typing error. Regards, Emrys Davies. "Emrys Davies" wrote in message ... 'Helen', Your best way to get an understanding of what is going on is to go to www.goole.com and search using: hedgehog cull and read the many sites on this subject. About two years ago I volunteered to have one of the hedgehogs concerned, but I heard no more probably because I live near to a road to which the hedgehog would have access. I feed a hedgehog nightly, have done so for many many years and like you I am concerned as to what is happening to them on this island in Scotland. Regards, Emrys Davies. "Helen" wrote in message ... What a horrible situation! Killing hedgegogs is terrible; but so is the eating of endangered birds' eggs! I suppose the only thing is to try and move the 'hogs to an area where there are no endangered species. "Phil L" wrote in message ...

I presume you mean this: http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?...2&id=735662003 The 'hogs are eating the eggs of endangered birds, but the conservationists 'rescued' about 200 of them and moved them to the mainland...the authorities have spent a total of £26,000 to kill 66 'hogs, but these are believed to have been replaced by at least 60 baby hoglets making a grand total of 6 in the reduction - average cost per death = £4,330. It's been grinding on for a few years now but is proving to be a severe headache for those involved as the astronomical costs continue to mount up. |
