Scottish Environment minister praises the new guide and confirms the Government’s commitment to legal snaring
Scottish minister for environment Roseanna Cunningham attended the launch of the new practitioners’ guide to snaring in Scotland on 20 September.
The minister also attended part of a Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) snaring course at a Perthshire estate. As well as witnessing the training involved in the course, she addressed the delegates and representatives from the organisations who have endorsed the guide.
She said: “There has been considerable controversy over the continuing use of snares in Scotland and this Government has taken the view that, in certain instances, their use remains necessary as a means of pest control.
“This guide takes into account changes to snaring legislation that are designed to address animal welfare issues and ensure a professional approach to setting and checking snares.
