Conservation Extremism and Barbarity
The sickening sight of mutilated carcasses piled in a field following
the helicopter herded slaughter of 600 deer at Glenfeshie Estate in
Scotland is representative of current conservation fascist principles
where it is no longer enough to plant trees or protect rare species
without cruelly butchering wildlife that is competing for the same
habitat.
This philosophy, driven by political dogma and a desire for a national
environmental identity, is only one short step away from the
intolerant fanaticism of those who perpetrate ethnic cleansing against
human populations.
Conservation has now become synonymous with extremism and it is time
the public condemned such cruelty by withdrawing support from the
uncharitable charities that advocate and encourage such barbarity.
So which charities advocate and encourage this killing and which
should you consider boycotting?
The following paragraph was part of a letter sent some time ago to
Ross Finnie, MSP, Minister for the Environment and Rural Development:
“We point out to the Minister that populations of deer in Scotland are
at record levels and, according to the Deer Commission, red deer
numbers are still increasing in most areas. The impact on the natural
environment of the current high populations has been a major concern
for many years with repeated requests from environmental organisations
and others for higher culls and population reductions. A major drop in
deer culls in the coming season would result in a further sharp rise
in populations.”
The letter was signed on behalf of
The John Muir Trust,
National Trust for Scotland,
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Scotland,
Ramblers Association Scotland,
Woodland Trust Scotland,
Millennium Forest for Scotland Trust,
and WWF Scotland.
Conservationists would have us believe that it is necessary to reduce
deer numbers to an acceptable population level that doesn’t cause
ecological damage. When asked why the population has increased so
rapidly, they tell us that deer reproduce prolifically and that there
are no large predators, namely the wolf, left to control their
numbers. On the face of it, that seems a reasonable explanation but it
is more of a plausible excuse for hunters to enjoy their grizzly fun
and conservationists to employ them to hunt in almost exactly the same
way under the more respectable guise of culling.
There is no doubt that wolves were predators of deer, but not for a
very long time. The last wolf was killed in the UK around 1750, more
than 250 years ago, and their numbers were in serious decline for many
decades before that. So it is reasonable to assume that wolves have
had little impact on deer for the past 300 – 350 years. With that in
mind one could be excused for thinking that deer numbers would have
escalated at an enormous rate over that period. But it is only in the
last 50-60 years that their numbers have increased significantly,
coinciding with a thriving hunting industry and reforestation that
provides shelter.
So is there a connection? Of course there is!
To understand the whole sorry mess, one must examine the structure and
covert allegiances between hunters and conservationists that form
alliances within “deer management groups” that are overseen by the
Deer Commission to maintain an artificially high deer population to
satisfy the requirements of hunting estates. But as deer know no
boundaries, the population expands to other areas unchecked, where
they can damage unprotected saplings, ground flora and ground nesting
habitats.
This is when the deceit of the conservationists comes to the fore.
Having supped with the hunters, they now tell us they need to cull
deer to reduce the increase in population that the hunters were
responsible for in the first place. The horrid cycle continues year
after year.
Why don’t the conservationists abandon their hunting cronies and
oppose the real reason for the deer population increase? Not a chance
- it’s all about money. The government via the Deer Commission wishes
to maintain the hunting industry for tourism income and the
conservationists depend on government grants via the Forestry
Authority to plant their trees etc.
The fake conservationists won’t bite the hand that feeds them and the
deer are the losers as can be seen by the butchery of Glenfeshie.
