   Comments: Although beavers can cause flooding, there are modern engineering solutions to those problems and I suggest you check out www.beaversww.org which is the website Beavers,Wetlands and Wildlife. More often, beavers PREVENT flooding because the beaver dam is acting live a sive and letting water out gradually instead of a bulck flood which causes erosion , silting of the stream and thereby the death of trouts. Fish are fed by the many fish food that grow in a beaverpond and it is documented that bigger fish are cought in beaver dams. It is a great tourist attraction and nature learning opportunity. Best to you in living with one of the oldest mamals left on earth. Teach the children to understand nature , engineering and hydrology and biology. The beaver is a keystone animal-- that means it acts as a center of attracting many other animals and plants that are rare. I know-- I had a beaver colony for years and now they are gone for 9 years and animals and plants are reduced. I muss the beavers. You will miss them after they are gone... do not kill them Thanks

   Comments: This SNH policy is daft and a horribly missed opportunity. It demonstrates a lamentable lack of knowledge of beaver biology and understanding of public opinion in Scotland. It should be called in immediately and a sensible dialogue about monitoring wild beaver populations commenced.

   Comments: This is an idigenous species that belongs in the Tay and every other river system in Europe. I STRONGLY object to my taxes being used to remove beavers from a place where they should be.

    Comments: Such a shame that the groups involved in this beaver hunt are also involved in spreading non native species throughout Scotland. The beavers have been on the Tay for many years without any trouble so why hunt them now ? SNH have a recorded sighting in 2001 so why did they not mention this before the all important Knapdale project ? Double standards anyone ?

    Comments: Just because man caused beavers to become extinct in Scotland all those years ago doesn't mean that they cannot be successfully reintroduced - they are not an invasive species - man is not the ruler over animals just another mammal....
