I have already signed your "PROPER ban on hunting" petition and fully support it all the way. How could using dogs to "flush out wild animals" even possibly be considered "humane" in any way, for the wild animals AND/OR the dogs??!!! You only have to hear of the unimaginable suffering, cruelly drawn out for so long, and disfigurement of both the wild animals and the dogs, used by sadistic "baiters", to know that using dogs to find, "flush out" and attack wildlife is NOT or could EVER be considered "humane", in ANY WAY!!! I am very disappointed as I always thought that Scotland was better than this. Also, how is so called "predator control", aka, most likely "culling", any different to hunting when BOTH involve violent murder/killing!! And as Protect the Wild also rightly mentioned, sick hunting "supporters" often use the words/excuse of "carrying out predator control" to try and "justify" them sadistically hunting and killing wild animals 🤬🤬🤬!! The one "predator" though that I do agree with carrying out "predator control" on is, THE MOST overpopulated, invasive, environmentally destructive and cruelest species of all (not all of us though), humans!!!

The human species is so in need of control but is the elephant in the room few will dare to speak of!

Its about time starmer and his cronies cut to the chase. Wildlife are suffering horrific deaths by psychos that should be punished. It really pi.... me off that nothing has been done and the main topics this government have covered is designer clothing glasses and taylor swift concerts , and attacking the older generation that have worked hard all their lives. Hunting and killing animals is medieval and should be banished to the history books.

I completely agree Larraine 👍❤️!! I have been looking on the news for any mention of a possible "trail hunting bill" or mention about the bill to ban the import and sale of fur but I have found nothing except for what you rightly stated above.

Releasing prisoners early is also high on the agenda. Its a pantomime. It just gets worse 😪 we need total ban on hunting and trail hunting now 🙏

I am not being smug, but honestly when I read about Scotland and the word 'licence' came into it, my heart sank! Think '(UN)natural England, Deathra etc in England who would for sure love this to happen here, as would CA!

As for 'under very strict and rigorous licensing conditions for the protection of livestock and for environmental benefit purposes where there is no effective alternative", that would never be policed in favour of the fox and would actually make proof more difficult for all monitors, in fact, reversing and weakening what we already have! Also, protecting livestock from what??? I suppose they are claiming deer for 'environmental purposes' but that is a hollow excuse! 'Where there is no other alternative'?? The essential 'we are very sorry but we know best and it really really had to happen' excuse for unnecessary interference with nature AGAIN! This is really worrying!

Yes I know, we just cannot trust any "POLITICAL" party, as for the "SCOTS" their mostly "NUTTERS" anyway, (I am half Scots and my 3 sons are more "Scots than English "Scot mother") so I think I can just get away with it, whatever the "LYING SCHEMING" starmer and his labour "cronies" come up with, don't hold your breath, they will (Im'e sure) leave a "LOOPHOLE", in whatever decision they make about our "AMAZING" "WILDLIFE", if I am wrong, I will run round "STARKERS" (back garden) shouting out "IM'E A TEAPOT", sorry, "no visitors", well, "you gotta larf".

After the obismol term in office i wouldnt trust these parlimentry idiots at all as Starmers already labbelled a liar back tracking on everything he promised dont hold your breadth although i remain optamistic as everyone else, theres no place now in society for these thugs and their out dated blood lust its about time these morons were called out to stand for britains voiceless wildlife but will be classed as far right because we have an opinion if so its about time we were heard

Thankfully people's voices are getting louder and numbers increasing to overtake that of the morons, including those in power! We have to keep shouting, louder and louder about what is unacceptable to us, and never stop shouting, we WILL be heard! Just wish it wasn't so slow whilst animals continue to suffer and die!

The usual garbage from idiotic/untrustworthy/incompetent/corrupt politicos & officials. Take your pick, I incline to bribed & corrupt. 'Licence' means 'loophole'; 'loophole' means bribes from vested interests; bribes means corrupt officials; corrupt officials deserve life in prison.

No surprise this is happening in Scotland where criminals are running things including convicted paedophiles writing sex education LGBTP(P is for Paedophile) programmes for schoolkids as young as four. Source: Citizen Go. 'Scotland the Brave'? More like 'Scotland the Trashed'.

EVEN IF WE HAVE A FULL AND PROPER BAN IN PLACE, WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM TO ENFORCE IT WITH RANGERS PATROLLING AND THE POLICE AS WELL? LABOUR IS THE WELFARE PARTY, AND IT WILL GET WORSE WHEN IT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO GO NO PENSION CREDIT AND END UP PAYING MORE MONEY IN BENEFITS THAN CUTTING THE WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE. AND THE MPS HAVE TO GO AND SAY THAT THEY NEED BETTER WAGES, SO THAT WE GET A BETTER STANDARD OF MP. PUT PEOPLE WHO ARE ON PROTECT THE WILD SUBSTACK INTO PARLIAMENT AND THEN WE WILL GET THINGS DONE.
