Police to probe hare snaring claim
Investigation at Cawdor estate

POLICE are to investigate claims of wildlife crime on a Highland
estate.

The League Against Cruel Sports claims that 16 dead mountain hares
have been discovered on the Cawdor Estate, near Inverness, as well as
evidence of “extensive snaring.” Under current regulations snares can
only be used to trap hares under licence but the league said no such
licences have been issued recently.

Scotland campaigner for the league Louise Robertson said: “We are
extremely concerned about the sheer density of wildlife persecution
which seems to be taking place in and around Cawdor.”

Mountain hares feed on heather and are considered a threat to grouse
moors. They are native to the Highlands.

The league says the hares' bodies were in various states of
decomposition, with some carcases still attached to many of the
snares.

Ms Robertson said: “We believe the recent findings are just the tip of
the iceberg, and we will be passing on all evidence to the police for
further investigation.”

A spokesman for the estate said it is “fully aware” of its obligations
in terms of wildlife legislation, and added: “Any suggestion to the
contrary is inaccurate.”

Sergeant Ewan Henderson, from Northern Constabulary, said: “We are
conducting an inquiry at the moment. We have received the information
and are investigating it fully. It is a big logistical operation
working with a number of partner services on the ground.

“Our message is that we will not tolerate wildlife crime of any sort.
There is new legislation and new procedures coming in all the time,
and all snares have to registered with us.”

Last month Northern Constabulary were involved in a large joint
operation, with the RSPB and Scottish SPCA, to investigate bird
poisoning on an estate at Badenoch.

More than 50 officers combed the unnamed estate, and four people were
taken in for questioning.

The force recently pledged to train new recruits in the Highlands and
islands in dealing with wildlife crime.

Chief Inspector Paul Eddington, Northern Constabulary's wildlife crime
co-ordinator, said the decision to introduce force-level training
proved they took the issue seriously.

That is gross. Too bad there wasnt a bigger organization that could
do this besides the police. Im from a family of deer hunter/ turkeys
and was always taught if you are going to kill it you best eat it.. I
just dont get pointless death. Everything is here for a reason.

The West is now a monolith which favors Moslem criminals
over innocent animals.
