I hope we can still catch some for our Burns' Night supper tomorrow evening
Photo from Border Patrol earlier today as thousands of Haggi attempted to flee Scotland in the final hours of the Annual January Haggis Hunt.
As the clock ticks towards midnight on January 25th, long lines of nervous Haggis were spotted making a desperate dash for safety, simply running on pure panic and instinct.
Fortunately for these brave wee creatures, protection came just in time.
Under the 1991 Burns Supper Treaty, any Haggis intercepted at the border on the final day of the hunt must, by law, be immediately released back into the wild.
The Treaty was signed to ensure that no Haggis is punished for attempting to flee on January 25th, a date recognised internationally as Peak Panic Day within the Haggis community.
Now that Burns Night is close to officially passing and the hunt being over.
With the nets soon to be lowered, these Haggis may soon finally return to their natural routines, grazing peacefully, hiding poorly, and drinking as much whisky as haggisly possible.
They will live freely once more…
safe from Hunters, at least until next January, unless the Save The Haggis Campaign has anything to do about it.
Long live the Haggis.
