Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to amend the Animals and Wildlife Act 2020 to allow mountain hares to be hunted for the purposes of falconry.
Do you agree that the practice of falconry must continue within Scotland?
Do you agree that the new legislation will have a negative impact on falconry related business?
Do you agree that the new legislation poses a risk to the welfare of birds of prey?
Do you agree that outlawing the hunting of mountain hares in the practice of falconry will be harmful to hare conservation as more licences for shooting them will likely be sought?
