45.The illegal killing of birds of prey in Scotland in 2009

"In 2009 a white-tailed eagle, two golden eagles, four red kites, and 21 buzzards were confirmed by the Scottish Government as being victims of illegal poisoning. Baits laced with highly toxic and illegal poisons continued to be deliberately laid out in the open in Scotland’s countryside. A red kite was shot and a further four buzzards were confirmed as shot or trapped. Peregrines and hen harriers nesting on driven grouse moors again “disappeared” in circumstances that suggested deliberate human interference. These shocking statistics can be added to the catalogue of shame documenting the last 20 years of relentless human killing of Scotland’s protected bird of prey species."

Petition title: Protection of vulnerable livestock
Petition text: Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend relevant legislation to remove the protection given to sea eagles and other predators such as foxes, badgers, and ravens in order to allow farmers and crofters, in certain situations, to kill such predators so as to protect their livestock from injury and death incurred by attack.
