I do hope you were more positive than me.....I have now submitted my response and am happy to share it with anyone who would like it.
Interested to know if your response gives any hope for small traditional farms or shall we all now consider sacking the extra workman & vegetating for the foreseeable future?I have now submitted my response and am happy to share it with anyone who would like it.
I made the point, strongly imho, that the impacts of the proposed protection regime would be disproportionate on smaller farms. I sought that Natural England should be required to commission an independent regulatory impact assessment of any licensing regime they create around financial and time costs with emphasis on its impact on smaller farmers and landowners.Interested to know if your response gives any hope for small traditional farms or shall we all now consider sacking the extra workman & vegetating for the foreseeable future?
My fear is that we will never be able to control/cull them.
Any requests etc will be replied with tough sh1t, (in the form of al least 3 A4 sides of jargon filled meaningless guff!)
That's the thing, its economic vandalism on a huge scale, what happens when there is a beaver dam near a vital piece of our national infrastructure. I can just see it " RAF runway flooded because of beaver dam" " No you cant touch it " says Environment Agency. Bonkers!Not to mention all of the added costs from property damage, as well as all that associated with protection, surveys, etc.
I agree. Ifear the legal route to address the problem will take 12 months + and cost £000's, forcing small farmers to become criminals or lose lots of money.My fear is that we will never be able to control/cull them.

The latest buzzword is 'relocation'. But where to?There would be no shortage of offers to help with control!
The best place would be hat makersThe latest buzzword is 'relocation'. But where to?
Presumably to either public land or land that previous release schemes have operated on. Anywhere else would involve an assumption that the landowner/ occupier agrees.The latest buzzword is 'relocation'. But where to?
I have long been pushing for the reintroduction of velociraptors if we are reintroducing random gone animalsWhat exactly is the purpose of reintroducing these animals anyway?
Will we be reintroducing bears, sabre toothed tigers, T.Rex, brontosaurs etc too? Those long necked buggers would make some mess of your maize fields! You'd be glad to have brock back.
