Comments on: Last breeding golden eagle in Scotland poisoned http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org/2008/06/14/last-breeding-golden-eagle-in-scotland-poisoned/ A campaign against wildlife poisoning Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:14:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: PaulaB http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org/2008/06/14/last-breeding-golden-eagle-in-scotland-poisoned/#comment-52 PaulaB Sat, 14 Jun 2008 20:50:29 +0000 http://stopwildlifepoisoning.wildlifedirect.org/2008/06/14/last-breeding-golden-eagle-in-scotland-poisoned/#comment-52 I think the bait was aimed at the eagle, in a misguided attempt to protect game birds such as grouse from predation. Shooting, of grouse and deer, is big business in Scotland. I think the bait was aimed at the eagle, in a misguided attempt to protect game birds such as grouse from predation.

Will it be possible to re-introduce some new breeding pairs into the Scottish environment, or is this the final sentence of extinction for these majestic birds of prey in this region? So sad to hear this. If humanity would get its priorities straight, we wouldn't be confronted with such depressing dilemmas. Truley a blight of shame that will haunt future generations, and yet another precursor of what is yet to come in the vanishing wilds. Thank you for your continued passion, effort, and commitment to be a proper steward of what all humanity should be fighing to protect on a daily basis. Keep up the fight!

There are still healthy populations of Golden eagles in other parts of Scotland. See http://www.wildlifeextra.com Not the last Golden eagle in Scotland, but the breeding eagle in the Borders region.

To kill foxes or other predators? This is so very sad! I hope the young eagle will make it. Why do you think there was poisioned bait out? To kill foxes or other predators? This is so very sad!
