Invasive Species
Non-native species are the second most serious threat to global biodiversity after habitat loss and cost the Scottish economy about £246m. And these non native species can be of very long standing like the humble rabbit.
At it Like Rabbits
Rabbits, which arrived in Britain with the Romans cause about £81m worth of damage in Scotland every single year. So you can imagine there were some qualms about American Prairie Dogs which were roaming free in East Lothian until they were caught and re-housed at the farm near Dunbar by voluntary agreement to control non-native species
Despite the cuddly nature of Prairie Dogs they could have potentially had a negative impact on local habitat and farmland if they escaped.
