Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee
Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1
Meeting date: 8 June 2022

My question is a quick one, because you have already given us a lot of information with regard to licensing and your views on it. However, what struck me in your written evidence was that you kept using the word “workable”, which you have used again in this session. What do you think will make the licence workable?

The submissions from everyone on the panel suggest that NatureScot is a suitable organisation to deal with the work, if, as Ian Duncan Millar has said, it is properly resourced. Will you explain why you think that NatureScot is the right organisation?

From my perspective and with my limited knowledge, I am not entirely clear how the words “snare” and “humane” can be used in the same sentence. Can you expand on that a bit?

Do you have any comment on what the impact might be of a ban on trail hunting in Wales?

It is interesting that you made the point that having a licence rescinded would be a very useful way of controlling malpractice, inhumanity and bad welfare.

I suppose that a licence is a stronger tool to ensure that people follow the correct welfare procedures in respect of wildlife and their own animals.

Yes, that is one side of it. The other side of it is having the resources to be able to continually apply for the licence and how that would work.
