This is no life for a wild animal.

Parrots are highly intelligent and social animals that belong in the wild. 🦜

Wild baby birds are being ripped from their nests and bludgeoned to death under the excuse of “tradition.”

Swipe through to see the devastating impact of Scotland's shameful guga hunt 👉

Baby gannet are captured and clubbed to death.
Families ripped apart.
Other baby birds risk starving to death.

Entire seabird colonies are disturbed, and in a remote, unmonitored setting there’s no way to ensure basic welfare standards are met.

This is cruel. It’s unnecessary. And it doesn’t reflect modern Scotland.

Last year, 485 baby birds were bludgeoned to death in the guga hunt.

On the remote Scottish island of Sula Sgeir, young gannets are ripped from nests and their families and clubbed to death.

❌ This isn’t tradition—it’s cruelty. And it will continue unless we fight together to end it.

Last week, we were quoted in The Herald speaking out against the guga hunt after NatureScot received a licence application for the hunt to go ahead this summer.

As OneKind CEO Jason Rose said:
“Scotland should be moving forward in how we treat our wild animals, not continuing outdated practices that cause animal suffering.”

📣 We’re getting ready to launch a new e-action in the coming days — and we’ll need your voice. Stay tuned!

Wild animals are paying the price for the exotic pet trade.

From being taken from the wild… to being bred for appearance… to living a life where their needs can never truly be met — the suffering happens at every stage. 🦜🐒

❌ Wild animals don’t belong in our homes. They belong in the wild.

Sign our petition to introduce a permitted list of animals that CAN have their needs met in domestic environments — and help end the keeping of wild animals as pets ➡️https://secure.onekind.org/page/168085/petition/1

A new Programme for Government is taking shape in Holyrood, and we're getting ready to push hard on the issues that matter most for Scotland's animals. But we want to know what you think should be top of the list.

Drop A, B, C or D in the comments, or tell us why in your own words.

Every response shapes our priorities.
