Meanwhile, SNP MSPs had the highest turnout of any major party - standing up for our constituents while Labour are missing in action. 💪

The responsibility for this lies with those who released these animals. What a horrible experience for them. And of course a tragic one for the year old juvenile who didn’t survive the ordeal. As I said at the weekend- they’ll have been hungry and thirsty not having the skills to survive in the wild

Very distressing to hear one of the young lynx has not survived the ordeal of being out in the wild. These animals were brought up with regular meals, comfort and safety- not equipped to survive in the wild. Is it any wonder the stress of their ordeal has resulted in this? Saddened by this.
