Scotland’s First Minister has stepped into a growing row about the mass slaughter of mountain hares.

Reacting to footage obtained by the League Against Cruel Sports and OneKind which showed hundreds of the animals being killed on a grouse moor, Nicola Sturgeon said: “Large-scale culling of mountain hares could put the conservation status at risk and that is clearly unacceptable.”

Charities and animal welfare activists are now demanding a stop to hare culling.

That’s why we’re asking: should hare culling be banned?

This is not a true cull. You cull animals when numbers get so large that they are starving and suffering. This is management by morons who wrongly believe that by killing the hares there will be more grouse for paying guns to shoot. Leave the hares alone and not only do they do no harm they are a welcome sight for eco tourists who put far more money into the wider economy than shooters in the enclosed estates, many of which are foreign owned.
