🤯Really? 😬Sad that so few (if any) of Scotland's politicians stand up for nature and our natural world... 🔻But this is sadder still... 🟰Promoting Sula Sgeir's annual #GugaHunt is akin to supporting the barbaric #Grindadrap of the Faroes...

The wrong decision. We should value indigenous people & cultures more than birds. https://t.co/E3NclTW97g

@AngusBMacNeil Do you also support the Faroe Islands savage & backwards traditions too ? Get a fuckin grip Angus. These type of backward traditions have no place in a world where humans have already pushed most animal species to the brink of extinction. Shame on you #TheGrind #GugaHunt

The #gugahunt @JennyGilruthMSP @JohnSwinney @andyburnham Dear @theSNP, will you please stop the murder of 2000 gannets in Lewis. This cruel blood sport tradition is barbaric & long since outdated. #savethegannet https://t.co/LzqOH3COec
