Campaigners are calling for legal protection

:00:09.:00:10.

The animals were reintroduced here after being hunted to extinction.

:00:11.:00:14.

But BBC Scotland has learned heavily pregnant beavers are among those

:00:15.:00:17.

which have been shot on Tayside by farmers and landowners.

:00:18.:00:20.

Our environment correspondent, David Miller, reports.

:00:21.:00:26.

Beavers have been reintroduced here as part of an official trial,

:00:27.:00:35.

but there is another beaver population in Scotland,

:00:36.:00:37.

Four years ago the Scottish Government scrapped plans to trap

:00:38.:00:40.

On Tayside, landowners have said that the beavers damage woodland

:00:41.:00:45.

and cause flooding, 21 have been confirmed shot.

:00:46.:00:48.

Beavers shot on Tayside are brought here to Edinburgh

We now know beavers which were heavily pregnant or had

:00:55.:00:57.

recently given birth are among those killed,

:00:58.:00:59.

that has led to calls for a close season on animal welfare grounds.

:01:00.:01:10.

And questions have been raised about long it would have taken

:01:11.:01:13.

If somebody has used a gun to shoot and the animal has moved and moved

:01:14.:01:18.

out of range and the animal has been wounded, that is sad but that,

:01:19.:01:23.

of action by the authorities over the years has effectively left

:01:30.:01:32.

being the only ones doing the management in that area.

:01:33.:01:36.

The beavers are here and the Scottish Government has

:01:37.:01:39.

decided to tolerate them, so it is really up to them

:01:40.:01:41.

to reflect public opinion and give them some protection.

:01:42.:01:45.

A spokeswoman for the Environment Minister,

:01:47.:01:59.

until after the Scottish elections in May,

leaving Tayside's beavers without protection during this

:02:02.:02:02.

A man and young boy have been seriously injured in an alleged
