@mditch84 @iandicko73 Start eating people! But no one can shoot them because that would be bad. Then with Veganism that means lots of fields of vegetables which the pigeons and rabbits will love but we can shoot them either. So humans end up starving whilst been hunted by wolves. Good work Chris

@mditch84 @iandicko73 Reintroducing wolves to the UK. The outcome we figure is wolves in rural Scotland (same place as grouse moors) and Red deer populations. So we'll build houses all over there then there's no red deer so nothing for the wolves to eat. There will be no livestock to eat so then they

@mditch84 @iandicko73 It's interesting, I had a conversation this afternoon about some of his brilliant ideas.
This is obviously the Vegan bandwagon, then there is the turning grouse moors into residential developments, then the anti shooting/hunting finally I think it was Chris who suggested

Farming organisations unite to promote sensible use of glyphosate in bid to help secure its future https://t.co/XGUNAMzTAj #glyphosateisvital #foodsecurity #conservation #farming

@MiseAnja @greenpartydubC I agree but within 2 months the grass will be more like a foot tall around the base of the trees. This is where the problems arise from.

[alistair simpson @alistair1392]

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #5 the biggest issue with regards to glyphosate in particular is that commercial glyphosate is readily available on the internet. The consumer only has to tick a box to say the end user will be certified to apply it. It is a completely safe product if used correctly.

[alistair simpson @alistair1392]

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #4 I think there is also a greater need for the government to improve standards with regards to pesticide usage. The sustainable use directive was put in place in 2012 which all professional companies are obliged to abide by.

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #3 this is something that has been trialed by some local authorities and for obvious reasons has worked. Greater habitat and plant species to improve biodiversity and also reduces the quantity of grass requiring mowing hence having a financial benefit.

[alistair simpson @alistair1392]

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #1In principle it does seem a good idea. There have been studies completed by some industry bodies looking at how weeds and long grass in residential and public areas and they found that the of grass growth and weeds in paths etc was to a certain level it had a direct correlation

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #2 if the herbicide is a combination of systemic and residual. This requires only 1 application per annum. Which reduces risk to the public. The alternative is strimming around the trees which causes damage to the trees ultimately killing them.

[alistair simpson @alistair1392]

@MiseAnja @cmossperennials @greenpartydubC #1 Not wanting to stir up an argument here but to add my well informed opinion here. The use of herbicides around the base of trees when carried out correctly by trained operatives is safer for the public and better for the trees than the alternative.
