Scottish beaver sanctuary owner hits out at numbers still killed every year

AN ENVIRONMENTALIST who has turned his land into a sanctuary for beavers has hit out at the numbers still being shot in Scotland.

Tom Bowser, owner of Argaty Red Kites and author of A Sky Full of Kites: A Rewilding Story, claims that although there are signs of hope for beavers in this country, they are still being killed instead of relocated.

Last year alone, 87 beavers were shot in Scotland.
