Carter Niemeyer, a former US government trapper, exposes the unethical nature of #wolf hunting, driven not by actual #livestock predation but by myths and deep-seated animosity toward the species.

Current management of #dingo impacts tends to focus on exclusion, either through fencing or #lethalcontrol. As well as removing #dingoes, they also remove any impacts that the carnivore has on the environment (both positive and negative) and can be very costly to implement.

If #Scotland adopted the mitigation strategy demonstrated in @DevonWildlife #RiverOtterBeaverTrial, the need for #lethalcontrol would be drastically reduced.
Make education translocation a reality - & #lethalcontrol a last resort ⬇️⚠️

Bio-diverse Beavers seen as "Pests" by landowners so #LethalControl in Scotland despite "protection" of species .

A nice illustration of how understanding animal social/spatial/foraging behaviour is relevant for effective management. And why we need solutions that go beyond killing. #conservationbehavior #lethalcontrol

#BigSilence on Golden Eagles from @scotgov with so much more that needs to be undertaken to protect our native wildlife & Environment. Meanwhile we have a roll out of this self promotion. How does that sound ? #LethalControl #RaptorPersecution #CoulLinks #SalmonFarmPollution etc

We're committed to protecting Scotland's environment and ending our contribution to climate change.
Have a look at what we have been doing this year to deliver the best outcomes for our environment. 🌊🐶🌲🌍

Norway has @ 80,000 beaver, Germany 15,000, and France 10,000 - increasing biodiversity and water quality and reducing flood risk. But some “custodians of the environment” can’t stomach it that Scotland has a measly 430.

No answer from @nature_scot to this simple question about welfare of newly protected #beavers.
27 licences for lethal control of beavers in Tayside have been issued. Reassurance needed re license condition that no killing be carried out during kit dependency & how this policed.

"European Protected Status" @nature_scot #LethalControl

Good to know that Wild Justice and others are now looking at legal position of beaver killing licences in Scotland. Despite what statutory bodies say no credible case for saying that the conservation status of the species is currently even approaching favourable. Very fragile.

An utter disgrace @strathearnrose not helped by #LethalControl and the previous acceptance of killings found on Tayside @onekindtweet @ChrisGPackham @DerekGow @ScotsBeavers scotsman.com/news/environmen…
