There seems to be a lot of focus on me having a beard as a man which I find strange especially as all the comments are from men so I want to share this vid for all the young lads on here with two mums who want to have a beard but are witnessing the beard hatred.
I met these awesome guys.

NATURESCOT IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE! NatureScot commissioned a new, highly detailed scientific assessment of the gannet population this year after we applied pressure on them to do their job properly.
Even after that work, it concluded there still wasn't enough evidence to show the guga hunt wouldn't harm the population and refused a licence.
If a detailed scientific assessment still left too much uncertainty to grant a licence, why wasn't the precautionary approach applied last year, when there was even less evidence?
They gave out a licence after the worst wildlife disaster for birds in our history and didn't even bother doing a post bird flu study before giving a gang of thugs permission to bash baby gannets to death. This is an absolute crime and naturescot will be held responsible, mark my words.

NatureScot refuses licence for hunt on Hebridean island of Sula Sgeir in which up to 2,000 seabirds are killed

What better way to show their deep respect for their culture and gannets than having sack races through the gannet colony, building big bonfires and hosting baby eating championships to see how fast they can eat a baby gannet in their local football club. These people are sick.

A petition calling for the annual guga hunt in the Western Isles to be banned has attracted more than 72,000 supporters.The petition was sparked after

FOR NEARLY 90 YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO END THE GUGA HUNT.

1938 – The Scottish Society for the Protection of Wild Birds and the RSPB opposed it.

1985 – Sea Shepherd launched a campaign against it.

2003 – Advocates for Animals launched a campaign to end the Guga Hunt.

2026 – Abolish the Guga Hunt and Protect the Wild took the campaign to a whole new level.

Tomorrow, NatureScot will decide the future of this year's Guga Hunt.

In under a year:

The campaign:

- Abolish the Guga Hunt staged the first protest against the Guga Hunt in over 20 years in Inverness on New Year's Eve.

- Abolish the Guga Hunt later staged a 60-hour rooftop protest at NatureScot's headquarters, gaining national television, radio and newspaper coverage.

- Rob Pownall, founder of Protect the Wild, stood as a candidate in the Scottish Parliament election dressed as a giant gannet, bringing national attention to the Guga Hunt.

- Devon Docherty joined Protect the Wild as Scottish Campaigns Manager, helping drive the campaign and build political and public pressure to end the Guga Hunt.

- Multiple protests took place in Inverness and Edinburgh.

- Protect the Wild's viral Guga Hunt animations each reached millions of people, helping bring the campaign to a national audience.

- Around a quarter of a million people signed petitions calling for the hunt to end.

The evidence:

- The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission concluded that it is "unaware of a humane way to dispatch guga that is feasible under the conditions on Sula Sgeir."

- NatureScot's Licensing Team and Marine Ornithology Team recommended that the Board "refuse the licence application this year."

- The Scottish Seabird Centre concluded that there is "currently insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the hunt can continue without adverse impacts on internationally important seabird populations and protected species breeding on Sula Sgeir."

- It also recommended that "licensing of the guga hunt should be permanently ended."

- Western Isles Council acknowledged that the processing of guga is not compliant with food hygiene requirements — yet the birds are still being sold to the public.

Tomorrow, NatureScot will either listen to the science and its own advisers—or prove it is not fit for purpose.
