Guga , young gannet chicks, are considered a delicacy by the villagers from Ness, on the Isle of Lewis .About this time every year boatloads of men from Ness sail thirty miles to the uninhabited island of Sula Sgeir, where thousands of gannets spend the summer nesting on cliff faces , to hunt /murder the young guga. The animal rights group Advocates for Animals is trying to get the hunt banned in the European Court . The group’s campaign director Ross Minnet told the London Independent last Saturday "The brutal and totally unnecessary guga hunt belongs back in the dark ages and has no place in a modern, 21st-century Scotland. It belongs in the pages of history books.” read full story / add a comment
