Scotland

Figures released alongside the FOI show BrewDog is to receive a total of £2.7 million worth of public money as the beer giant is to replace the dead saplings recorded in the inspection.

Scottish Forestry confirmed £1.1m had already been received by the firm, with a further £1.6m agreed for a second, separate stage of planting.

Why the fuck are we funding this when they get all the PR and goodwill?

For that money the government should be making their own public initiatives, planting their own trees on their own land, not funding BrewDog's marketing schemes.

... They built the fences after putting in the saplings (aka delicious deer food). Is that not a little bass ackward?

I thought this was going a different direction …… a neighbor when I was a kid had a nice garden that kept getting eaten so they built a fence. However deer were motivated enough to jump the fence for food. Once they were inside, they were trapped. Maybe lack of motivation to get to the no food area or maybe just not enough room to work up the speed to make the jump
