❗Yesterday, we responded to reports that NatureScot has granted a licence to allow the killing of up to 500 baby gannets.

The news that the traditional guga hunt had been approved to return later this year gained significant media coverage & raised public awareness of this archaic practice.

A young Hen Harrier, Red, has disappeared in suspicious circumstances. Police found no trace of the bird.
This latest incident follows a clear pattern of Hen Harriers disappearing on driven grouse moors: it's time to license driven grouse shooting.
