“Members of the public have therefore
no reason to be alarmed but we are asking farmers to notify the Agricultural
office in Ayr of any stock losses they might have suffered which could
be attributable to such an animal.”
“Likewise any walker or other person
who comes across wildlife such as rabbit or deer which has been killed
in unusual circumstances are being advised to notify the police” said Mr
Wilson.
“Strathclyde Police have established
an incident control centre at their Headquarters in Pitt Street in Glasgow
and they will co-ordinate the response of the relevant agencies to any
future reports of sightings or other related occurrences.”
“The Scottish Executive and it’s wildlife
agency Scottish Natural Heritage will co-ordinate their input via Strathclyde
Police who will be the lead agency for any public enquiry.” said Mr Wilson.
