00:00
Large areas of land have been given awards for the management of a single species for
00:09
the very privileged few to benefit, and the benefit they want simply is recreational killing.
00:15
The majority of the people that live here and their families have been here for generations.
00:19
It wasn't just a job to them, it's a way of life for these people.
00:23
The big challenge really is to manage our wildlife resources in a sustainable way.
00:29
Our job is to sort of explain to people what Scotland could be like if nature was left
00:34
to its own devices.
00:36
The habitat that you see around here, the landscape, the animals that inhabit it and
00:39
the way it's laid out, it's all the consequence of human choices.
00:42
Members of the public are moving away from the idea that it is acceptable to shoot things
00:47
for a sporting purpose.
00:49
Some people can say a bit nasty things and some think the job my dad does is cruel.
00:55
People from the urban cities, they really don't really know the other side of the story
00:59
as regards predation and the effect it has on wildlife as well.
01:02
If they ban the hunting, the stalking.
01:05
It would decimate the country, it would decimate the highlands.
01:07
When there's no predator control, predators will take over.
01:11
Wildlife's going to disappear.
01:12
If you can't make a living, if you can't feed your family, what's the point in doing it?
01:16
If you remove people from the landscape, you remove the heart and soul.
01:21
Do we have a war going on?
01:23
There's social change, there's always social change, there's tension.
01:26
I know keepers that's been threatened about it.
01:28
Children were threatened with having acid trick in their faces.
01:31
The deer has played a big part in this area for people's employment.
01:35
They are also a symbol of what nature means.
01:38
From the director of Killing the Shepherd.
01:41
We've got to get food from somewhere to feed the population.
01:44
And it goes hand in hand with what we do here and our philosophy of nature to play.
01:49
With the rewilding thing, which is very much in fashion now, we have some pretty big players
01:54
who have a totally different belief system from us.
01:57
When governments start saying what you can and can't shoot, who can and can't shoot it,
02:02
I have great concern.
02:03
There is a lot of sort of neo-Marxist ideology attached to the whole land reform issue.
02:09
The vested interests that lie behind the high deer populations, they're the villains.
02:14
The end landowner, that's what this argument is all about.
02:19
The Last Keeper.
