Geese could end an entire way of life on the Western Isles, according to the Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF).

The organisation said the birds posed the “greatest threat” to the future of crofting on the islands by damaging crops and grazing.
SCF has raised an online petition with the Scottish Parliament urging the Scottish government to do more to control geese numbers.

So THAT’s why Trident is based in Scotland. It’s to nuke the geese!

Of course the crofters could just shoot and eat the geese and claim self defence. That option doesn’t seem to have occurred to them.
