Please don't assume any disrespect for this post. There is a rumor, myth or legend that the last documented Dodo birds were recorded in a small town 9 miles south of Oxford, MS around the late 1800's. I've since heard they were probably a hybrid Dodo and Guinea fowl raised by a farmer. As the story goes a group was dispatched from the local university with expert botanist and zoologist to look into the matter. The farmer hearing that he was to have company slaughtered the entire flock to serve as an entrée for his new guests. They were the biggest and best birds he had to feed such a large gathering. The irony of this story (if indeed it is true) is that the ignorant rednecks still thrive here in Mississippi. It hurts my heart that any species faces extinction especially a member of the feline genus but I doubt the Scots will be hindered except for the loss of a majestic creature. I could hope that the species would make magical resurgence like the Florida "Southern" panther has here my state or the red wolves reintroduced in my home state of NC.
