A slightly different video from my usual content, but please give it a watch.
You could personally help us make a huge difference to the future of falconry in Scotland.
Now at a critical point in proceedings, we need you to stand up and show the Scottish Government how important it is to allow eagles hunt freely in the Scottish Mountains again!
You do not need to be a falconer to contribute, and you can sign wherever you are in the world.
Simply watch the video and sign the petition to be an active part of saving this unique form of falconry:
petitions.parliament.scot/pet...
(Scroll to the bottom of the page)
You can read about the full journey here:

We are so close to protecting an important part of our world cultural heritage. Please help us secure a future for Scottish Falconry.
Thank you everyone - you are amazing!
Take care,
Amy

I do not keep birds but I do keep tarantulas and, very similarly, arachnologists have been able to make fantastic discoveries about spiders and other arachnids from their captive-bred counter parts. There is a reason animals belong in their individual ecosystems; every animal and every plant plays such a large role in its continued survival. These birds should be able to hunt prey that is natural to them. Honestly, the hare population graph really got me! What an absolutely massive oversight.

@complimentary_voucher Год назад

Totally. Here in NZ we have critically endangered birds that have only survived because of private/public partnerships where longtime keepers have helped salvage entire species on the brink of loss. This kind of crap legislation often just conceals gross private interests and is usually cheerled by ignoramus pollies looking for a cheap publicity boost. I challenge any of the people involved to pick a damn hare out of a lineup.

@adotintheshark4848 Год назад

Here in the 'States, where I live there is a falconry club, and they take their birds (red-tail hawks) out to specifically hunt for rabbits. it's fascinating to watch because they can catch those critters better than dogs can.

@mason091993 Год назад

There might be ulterior motives. Governments hardly ever do things just for the good of the people, or in this case, the environment.

Signed! Whether they are wild or trained, these raptors are magnificent creatures which can bring so much pleasure to observers as well as falconers. A former colleague of mine (in the teaching profession) used to organise a falconer friend to bring his Harris hawk into school as part of his "syllabus" for the teaching of the book "Kes". This was always a huge hit with the pupils!

@Rags2Itches Год назад

Amy I will sign this petition. The cause is logical and just on the part of the Falconry Community. Keep fighting for this as it seems obvious that the law was made without even considering the birds. Part of my family heritage is Scots from my father's side. I'm immensely proud of it.

Myself and Barry stood on the other bank watching them come through. After that its an hour drive to get high enough to fly the birds. Quite an adventure before you've even got out of the truck!

And oh my gosh how pro "save the environment" gets thrown at us, among other things, and how unfair the government is with spending our tax money for their desires and not ours! The ways of our world just angers me and the leaders are so out of touch with reality! The governments are so destructive and cause such divisions. Thank you for all that you and your falconry mates are doing! I feel privileged to be able to view what you have shared over the years.
