To dismiss or ignore the crofters claims is only going to make them feel aliented. It has got to be more productive to sit down and discuss the problems that the farmers are having with the reintroduction of the eagles.
We dont want to go back to wide spread persecution of these magnificent birds after all the efforts that have gone into getting them re-established in the uk

Totally agree with you mark. Don't know what the costs of reintroducing these eagles has been but compensating the crofters must be cost affective against having to start again if the current birds are persecuted!
