As we await details of the Scottish Government’s plans for the introduction of a licencing scheme for grouse shooting, Environment Minister Mairi McAllan has indicated that the seven principles will be considered as the legislation is drafted.
The seven principles can be summarised as follows:
- Modifying human practices when possible
- Justification for control required
- Have clear and achievable outcome-based objectives
- Cause the least harm to animals
- Social acceptability
- Systemic planning
- Base control on the specifics of the situation rather than labels (like “pest species”)

This looks like a stink pit where previous kills are dumped to lure in more target animals which get caught in snares set around the pit
Snare
Target species, and other species are also killed in traps
