We’re delighted Scottish Government Minister Gillian Martin has today announced her intent to push for a full ban on the use of snares.

After years of debate, this is a big step in acknowledging snares are indiscriminate and can cause horrendous suffering to animals caught on them.

Another grim evening in which I confirmed another case of #AvianFlu in Scotland. This one near Annan. The professionalism of those I work with never fails to make me proud. But we’d rather there were no more cases so c’mon everyone. BIOSECURITY, BIOSECURITY, BIOSECURITY.
