Came across a story

A lady walking her dogs came across a fox caught in a trap. She release the fox and called the SPCA who ask her to let them have the trap. A little later this caring lady had a knock on the door, the police investigating the theft of the trap! It took 3 months to tell her she wouldn't be charged, wonder how many serious crimes weren't solved while this was investigated.

I always thought that, in this day and age, trapping animals was illegal, but in Scotland apparently not, if they are set properly! Come on Nicola do something useful and get this barbaric and sickening practice outlawed.

Spring traps can cause a lot of pain and suffering......................Especially if you catch your thumb in one.

Its the half baked assertions by the bunny huggers, ie medicine warfarin that really gets up the noses of us proper custodians of the countryside.Its like comparing cntrolled dose of paracetamol with an overdose. But then the antis have never considered facts or reality only pushing out inflamitory statements.

Write your comments here...Never hugged a bunny or a Tree come to that, eaten lots of bunnies, very nice. But all killed quickly shot with a .22 LR rimfire.. As for Proper Custodians of the countryside ! Poppycock ! Farmers are just business men these days, very few (but there are some) have thoughts on what their business based decisions have on the countryside or the wildlife that depends on it. Shooting estates are even worse, gamekeepers killing most predators even to the point of extinction ( Montagues Harriers and Hen Harriers) to name but a few. And using banned poisons and banned pole traps to achieve that end. Custodians of the Countryside ? Dont make me laugh.
