Jamie McGrigor MSP McGrigor hits out at "acts of barbarity"
Highland MSP Jamie McGrigor has hit out at the way the Deer Commission
manages deer numbers in Scotland.
Speaking in a debate in Parliament on
Deer Management, the Conservative MSP, who is a member of the Inveraray
and Tyndrum Deer Management Group, described recent culls on the Cobbler
and at Glenfeshie as "acts of barbarity".
Said Mr McGrigor "There is no doubt that
the herds of red deer which inhabit Scotland's Highland regions are a very
important part of our national heritage. They must be managed in a way
makes the most of this valuable asset rather than reducing the monarch of
the glen to the status of vermin.
"Management should be controlled by the
work force on the ground, advised by the local deer management groups
which are already in place. The recent indiscriminate massacres of deer in
Glenfeshie, on Ben Lomond, on the Cobbler and at Braemar are not acts of
responsible management - they were acts of barbarity.
"Not only were they indiscriminate but
the methods used, the evidence of which can be seen on the Scottish
Gamekeepers Association videos, are abhorrent to anyone who has the
welfare of Scotland's red deer at heart. It is important that the public
should be told the true facts about the tragedy which is taking place
amidst Scotland's wild and beautiful places".
Mr McGrigor called for more consultation
between the Deer Commission and the Scottish Gamekeepers Association,
arguing that gamekeepers knew best how to manage Scotland's wild areas.
"I do not understand why the Deer
Commission, which is charged with managing the welfare of Scotland's red
deer, has not asked the Scottish Gamekeepers Association to nominate one
of their professionals as one of the Commissioners.
"The Scottish Gamekeepers Association is
the body with by far the most practical knowledge of how to successfully
manage wildlife in Scotland and know best how to combine open moorland and
woodland areas and get the best from both".
