Withdraw the licence issued to The Strathbraan Community Collaboration for Waders (SCCW) for a 5 year "experimental" cull on the raven population.
Why is this important?
The cull has poor scientific foundations, little oversight and no controls. The SCCW is a collection of landowners and gamekeepers in an area with a history of possible raptor persecution. It seems probable that the cull has been established in a driven grouse shooting area for reasons other than the conservation of waterfowl. Follow the web address below for more detail.
