Sporran wearers may need licence
Kilt wearers could face prosecution if they do not have a licence for
their sporran under new legislation which has been introduced in
Scotland.
The laws are designed to protect endangered species like badgers and
otters, whose fur used to be favoured by sporran makers.
The legislation applies to animals killed after 1994.
Applicants must prove that the animal was killed lawfully before they
will be able to get a licence.
The conservation regulations were designed to close a number of
loopholes and bring Scotland into line with other EU members.
They also apply to other vulnerable animals like deer, wildcats,
hedgehogs, bats, lynx, moles, seals, whales, dolphins and porpoises.
The regulations require anyone who owns any part of a protected animal
to obtain a licence.
The maximum penalties for breaking the law are a fine of Ł5,000 and six
months in prison.
Hamish Husband, spokesman for the Association of Tartan Army Clubs, said
the legislation could affect fans who follow their national football
team.
"Are the police going to take DNA samples from the sporran of every
kilted supporter who walks into Hampden?" he asked.
"If that's the case we will need to look into obtaining a licence to
cover the entire Tartan Army."
The new rules will also cover fishing flies made from animal hair.
A Scottish Executive spokeswoman said the new rules had been put in
place to bring Scotland into line with existing European legislation
designed to protect vulnerable species.
"The licence will allow people who possess artefacts made from these
species in circumstances compliant with earlier laws to keep them," she
said.
"This could be family heirlooms of various descriptions.
"Having a licence for such an artefact, proving it was obtained legally,
will ensure they will not be prosecuted or have it taken from them under
the new regulations."

Can one not get hair from an animal without killing it? Or does it
have to be freshly killed hair? Ummm, that sounds silly! LOL Does it
have to be hair from a freshly killed animal?

Yes.

Yes, also from bushes and other things which catches hair.

Or does it
have to be freshly killed hair? Ummm, that sounds silly! LOL Does it
have to be hair from a freshly killed animal?

Of course not. The animal could have been killed by something else,
even old age or disease, and ants and others cleaned out the carcass
while leaving the skin.

A Scottish Executive spokeswoman said the new rules had been put in
place to bring Scotland into line with existing European legislation
designed to protect vulnerable species.

Interesting......

Lesson in abject stupidity. Yet another draw on taxpayers funds for
more paper pushers and square fillers.

They *do* have legs. The legs on one side are much shorter than the legs on
the other. That's evolved because of their highland habitat, so that they
can run round the tops of the mountains more easily. There are two different
species of haggis. One species have the short legs on the left and run round
the mountaintops in an anticlockwise direction whilst the other species have
the short legs on the right, to run clockwise round the mountaintops. Of
course, these two species cannot interbreed, as getting into the correct
postition for intercourse would mean that one of the couple would fall down
the mountain.
Now you know where the expression "They fell for each other" comes from.

Interesting that they didn't protect the haggis as well, that's becoming
a rare beast in many parts of the highlands.

That is because it is so easy to catch.
No legs, you see.

They *do* have legs. The legs on one side are much shorter than the legs on
the other. That's evolved because of their highland habitat, so that they
can run round the tops of the mountains more easily. There are two different
species of haggis. One species have the short legs on the left and run round
the mountaintops in an anticlockwise direction whilst the other species have
the short legs on the right, to run clockwise round the mountaintops. Of
course, these two species cannot interbreed, as getting into the correct
postition for intercourse would mean that one of the couple would fall down
the mountain.

Now you know where the expression "They fell for each other" comes from.

Ha'e ye seen the deadly giant Haggis Spider?
A lot of folk mistake them for Bagpipes.

That causes many to change their tune.....

Aye, laddie.
A change of Scottish airs.

Until all were exhausted....

Another devoted fan.

Keep upwind.....

...and an eye out fer the tilt-o-the-kilt.

I do believe the 'Prince Andrew' variant keeps it restrained
