Over the past few days, I’ve been accused of “cultural imperialism” for one simple reason: I’m standing as an MSP candidate on a single policy, to end the Guga hunt. protectthewild.substack.com/p/is-it-cult...

Problem is you can spend £1 million reintroducing eagles but if the government won’t crack down on shooting, you’re not restoring nature, you’re sending birds to die.

We advocate for ALL UK wildlife.

What is the Guga hunt? It's an annual 'tradition' where a group of men travel to a remote Scottish island to bludgeon Gannet chicks (Guga) to death for a local delicacy. It must be stopped.

A dispute has emerged between a former MP and an MSP candidate over the future of the guga hunt. This has thrust the controversial practice into the centre of the election campaign.

Let’s end the Guga hunt for good!

This is ridiculous. Please ask Network Rail to unfill the holes - protectthewild.org.uk/swift-petiti...

Never heard of the Guga hunt? It's where a group of men travel to a remote Scottish island (Sula Sgeir) every year to bludgeon Gannet chicks (Guga) to death for a local delicacy.

Nesting holes at a viaduct in Derbyshire have been filled in by Network Rail. It is ridiculous. Please ask them to reopen the holes - protectthewild.org.uk/swift-petiti...

Former MP Angus MacNeil has called my Scottish election campaign where I am dressed as a giant Gannet to end the guga hunt “cultural imperialism.”

Former MP Angus Macneil has claimed I “just don’t understand” and that my election campaign IS “CULTURAL IMPERIALISM” because I am calling for an end to the Guga hunt.

What are Network Rail playing at?!

Absolutely inexcusable from Network Rail - please take action and call on them to unblock the holes! protectthewild.substack.com/p/swifts-fac...

A completely avoidable situation www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yes this is real!!

PBI, like WWF, has opposed the upgrading of polar bears from CITES Appendix II to Appendix I, helping ensure that ‘sports hunting’ and the commercial trade in their furs and body parts can continue - even as their numbers dwindle. protectthewild.substack.com/p/exposed-po...

A day in the life of a Gannet running for Scottish Parliament to try and end the Guga hunt

This isn’t satire. A former SNP leader is standing in the Scottish election against a candidate dressed as a 6ft gannet. The ‘Gandidate’ is running on a single policy campaign to end the Guga hunt.

Strong words from our founder, do you agree?
