CLASHINDARROCH UPDATE- THE TIME IS NIGH
Hi All
It's time to go again. Our lawyers have been literally working around the clock and have today sent correspondence to Nature Scot demanding a complete and immediate stop to all logging and operational work in the Clashindarroch. We will be relying on a very powerful piece of legislation called the Environmental Liabilities Regulations (2009). It is designed to allow intervention when there is an imminent threat to the environment including of course protected species.
It is only now that we can use this legislation. Remember this crucial fact. NO FINAL VERSIONS OF THE HABITAT MANAGEMENT OR SPECIES PROTECTION PLAN HAVE BEEN SEEN, YET DESPITE THIS THE GOVERNMENT AND COUNCIL HAVE SIGNED OFF ON THE LOGGING.
Doesn't get dodgier than that. Oh and such is the lack of transparency on which government Minister actually signed this off, it now transpired that is was in fact Neil Gray MSP. And get this, he is the Minister for wellbeing, fair work and energy. Environmental issues weren't even part of his remit yet he was able to sign off on the industrialisation of the most important wildcat site in Scotland. The more we push forward the more we reveal and the more ridiculous the approval of this development becomes.
We are more determined than ever. Our campaign is galvanising and inspiring other groups and communities to follow our lead to stand up to the authorities on what can only be called environmental vandalism. This is generating a real movement but more on this later. For now we are laser focused on the Clashindarroch.
We stand ready to go agsin to the courts and also to take this to international bodies if necessary. Scotland is signed up to numerous international conventions and treaties. We are going ‘all in’. I cannot overstate the determination within our team and that is being fuelled by your unwavering support. We feel your anger, outrage, disbelief and we know you are with us all the way.
We could never walk away and abandon these magical wildcats. The image above is one of those magical Clashindarroch wildcats. Look him in the eye. How dare anyone threaten his home or right to live in peace. We don't care how immune or hidden some entities or people think they are. We will expose and hold to account every person and organisation involved in this betrayal. We will do it with pure hearts and fire in our bellies. This isn't over. Not by a long way. We know you are with us and as always you can support our fight at this link:
