Don't Duck Our Great Offer
Scotland is a wondrous and strange place. I’ve just watched a video of wild pigs and wild boar mixes roaming the Great Glen in the Highlands. They are pretty frightening. There are herds of feral pigs roaming the area and out of control. They have been blamed for sheep killings and as they feed much more heavily than other beasts, they are ruining the grazing for other animals. There are calls for a reduction in numbers of the thousands of pigs, which include escapees and others that have been illegally released to roam free. They are highly unpopular with farmers and crofters, who of course are constrained in what they can do to the animals. They can’t be shot without a deal of trouble landing on the shooter’s head.
I’ll give you an example. I was dropping off a new van in one of my odd jobs not so long ago and other motorists started flashing me. Odd I thought, but carried on and arrived at the address for the van, only to find the house next door was under police siege. So I had a look at the front grill of the vehicle and saw there was a pheasant stuck there. I took it gingerly out and laid it on the grass. It was suffering, so I asked the coppers who were taking a break if I could put it out of its misery. Certainly sir, you could, but then we’d arrest you for animal cruelty, they said. So I had to leave the poor creature to be eaten by a fox, cat or dog when the siege was over.
