So yes, you're correct - I'm not raising roos in Scotland, but we do look into ruminants, biomes, etc here.
These are complex chains that make up the surface level carbon cycle. Not every path leads to carbon dioxide / methane production, the gas creation ratios can be tweaked by the paths taken.
The problematic carbons are those that are additional - those once buried across the course of millions of years, some millions of years ago and now being bought to the surface in an extremely short timescale (one century and half, roughly)
This all goes to your question if you care to look into it.
In Scotland?

Meat production accounts for somewhere between 15 and 20% of human emissions. It is a significant part of the problem.

To a point. Producing and consuming meat is gonna emit carbon. This isn’t disputable.
Already answered. Engage brain, treat it as a puzzle.

Is it? Or is it just cycling the carbon in the land / sea close surface layer?
> To a point.
The point being it is something that can be modified and addressed.
> Producing and consuming meat is gonna emit carbon.
Recycle carbon, rather than dredge up and release fossil carbon might be a better framing for any wanting to get to the root of the issue.
> and consuming meat
Shooting and eating kangaroos, feral camels, goats, donkeys, clean skin bulls, etc. somehow adds in a significant manner to AGW ?
Are you _sure_ about that?
Only if you assume that the finger-in-the-air guesswork around how much emissions you get from livestock is correct.
What do you think would be better?
