Well, seems the SNP has decided to vote on this EVEL legislation, regardless on the repercussions – so it’s a done deal. No point arguing about it.

Only circumstance that might justify this otherwise unwarranted intervention is if there is solid evidence that a fleeing English fox is likely to cross the border to take refuge (and eat lunch) in a Scottish hen house.

It might then be reasonably argued that the proposed legislation covering England and Wales, does in fact trigger barnyard consequentials, thus justifying the SNP vote.
