A
RARE mammal which is related to the weasle and is being re-introduced into Mid
Wales has been labelled as a ‘terrible killing machine’.
John
Pugh, trustee of Songbird Survival, fears an increase in the pine marten
population will adversely impact on some bird species.
He
said: “I have no hesitation, pine martins are a supreme killing machine. A
terrible killing machine.
“We
have got an all time low of ground nesting birds. It just does not match up
with the real world introducing this killer to our eco-systems.
“With
falling numbers we now have to put up with farming of pine martens in Mid
Wales.”
