Decided to resurrect this blog I started a few years ago.

SURELY THE RSPCA DON'T SHOOT SEALS , I'M CONFUSED



Today decision by the Scottish Information Commissioner (IC) to force the Scottish Government to review just which salmon farms shoot Seals. Its a very interesting case, why  the IC, my logic would suggest surely that seal shooting should be part of the remit of Scottish Natural Heritage who look after our natural heritage . Do they or don't they?? or are their hands tied by Lochhead & Marine Scotland??  Then obviously if  SNH aren't looking after Scotland's seals, high up on the agenda will be the  RSPCA seems pretty obvious to me they must be outraged at shooting seals as a first resort rather than using anti predator nets. Looking into the case closer seems in my opinion that RSPCA are condoning shooting seals through their Freedom Foods label rubber stamping of farmed Salmon, seems  shooting seals is looked upon as normal activity by RSPCA. It sure is real confusing why from Richard Lochhead, Marine Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Scottish Environment Protection Agency and most of all The Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals ain't interested when Seals are shot. Only conclusion I can come to is there must be money involved somewhere, cant see why one of Scotland's iconic species would be allowed to be shot by our Government. Why its left to the Scottish Information Commissioner to be the protector of our wild life!!!!!

If you think this is an animal cruelty issue please phone the RSPCA on  Cruelty line
