Gamebird and quail sectors - phasing out the use of cages: call for evidence
We would like to hear the views of stakeholders on how the current systems can be improved to enhance the welfare of the birds kept. The Scottish Government seeks to expand its understanding of the gamebird industry and has taken the opportunity to include quail egg and meat production in Scotland.
Next steps in the process
Where respondents have given permission for their response to be made public, and after we have checked that they contain no potentially defamatory material, responses will be made publicly available at Scottish Government Consultations. If you use Citizen Space to respond, you will receive a copy of your response via email.
When the call for evidence closes all responses will be analysed and considered along with any other available evidence to help us decide on whether to progress our proposals and if so, how to do so in a way that ensures the sustainability of the sector and the welfare of birds. Responses will be published where permission to do so has been given.
A call for evidence summary report will also be published that will include an anonymised analysis of the responses received and set out the next steps.
