Who’s Next for the Chop

Sir,
Rescue groups know far more about relocating
hedgehogs than Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) does. They do it
all the time.
SNH states that it has carried out a ‘scientific
study’. In my opinion scientific studies are always biased
towards the aims of those carrying out that study.
This cull wasn’t a ‘hard decision’
for SNH to make. They went into the meeting with their minds already
made up as to the action they would take.
Many rescue groups were either represented at
that meeting or had made their suggestions known. It was all disregarded
as ‘Big Brother knows best’.
The birds are all that matters, it seems.
What happens if the waders continue to decline
once the hedgehogs have gone? Who’s next for the chop?
