Surely this facility is absolutely vital for the prevention of diseases in livestock and for the safety of the food production.

I have been a PhD Student studying Golden Eagles in the Foinaven Special Protection Area. I have taken 5 dead golden eagles to this facility and have had 5 post mortems conducted. There were no suspicious circumstances but without this superb facility we would never have known. It must remain open.

Closure of this lab will affect a lot of our crofting members in skye & localsh, another negative impact on active Producers struggling to retain stock on the hills in these areas.

In an area covered in farms, crofts, estates etc, it is vital to keep this service going.

Let us not forget the lessons of the Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2001. This facility is crucial to the effective surveillance and control of such diseases.

A decision that fails to understand the logistics of the north of Scotland!

Taking away this service could have a detrimental effect on animal health in the Highlands and Islands - where approx. 25% of the livestock enterprises in Scotland are based - thus also majorly impacting the economic viability of the farming community.
