Angus MacNeil, representing the Western Islands, claimed that many of the predators, which had disappeared in Britain before being returned to the 1970s, were now “out of control” after successful breeding programs.
He said plans to drastically expand the population would drive farms out of their activities due to the growing number of lambs being “torn to pieces” by eagles that had moved away from feeding on fish.
His call for the slaughter of protected species provoked reactions from environmentalists, with the re-introduction of birds being seen as an important success story by wildlife actors.
The RSPB suggested that the number of lamb deaths attributed to sea eagles was excessive.
However, the MP, who owns 33 ewes, criticized commentators from the city, who claimed that they had little understanding of the impact the eagles had on rural life.
Two of his neighbor Bara’s four-day-old healthy lambs were “torn” by eagles over the weekend, Mr MacNeil said.
He posted scary pictures of the carcasses on the Internet, saying that the birds would be more accurately called “lamb eagles”.
Mr MacNeil, a veteran SNP lawmaker, said he had also heard reports of a woman in Fort William fighting an eagle with her umbrella after attacking her chihuahua and another bird killing a Jack Russell in Uist, USA. Hebrides.
Sea eagles became extinct in the United Kingdom in 1918, but were reintroduced to the Isle of Rum in 1975.
