zig zag wanderer 0 Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 if bullets was brains you wouldnt have enough shot to blow your fringe to one side...your in the wrong job mate! That's the only reason I asked about your trade. I think I'm in the right job and I know a satisfied customer and a fox cub that would both agree with that In pest control every job is unique. Each situation is evaluated in relation to pest control law and the particular problems experienced by the customer. The decision lies with the professional. Releasing fleas would not be practicable or solve the customer's problem, releasing a fox in some circumstances is perfectly respectable in my opinion but other pest controllers may disagree. Killing is always easier than thinking but then doing the right thing isn't always easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do i have to tell you your job?..."Releasing fleas would not be practicable"...i cant think where releasing a pest like a fox could be "practicable" the chances are it will have to fight its way out of another foxes turf and end up where?...you people dont think it out...better to dispose of it there and then...pest control Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RossM 8,147 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 the cubs im feeding are on permission that is crops only that is over run with rabbits, the way i saw it is they will help with the control the amount of rabbits, therefore i am doing this land owner a favour by not culling them at that point in time, as i said before he is now getting bother with his chooks i have informed him that i know where the earths are and that i am willing to take care of them if and when he wants. until i get the go ahead i will keep feeding them and hopefully keep them away from the mans chickens.

spanj 11 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Actually the Red Fox isn't vermin, it is an indigenous british mammal. Some individuals can become vermin when they get themselves into situations that conflict with man's business. Remember that wildlife management is a balance not a right to kill. Respect all wildlife and respect your quarry. bollox you do know your on a HUNTING forum dont you? Legally speaking the fox isnt vermin, its a pest. Nevertheless I dont see the point in feeding cubs, let nature take its course. If they survive they will make a worthy quarry (not trapped and released for dogs to run on.......... fuckwit !!), if not, thats life. JMHO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouse 282 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 got 4 litters on my permission.they will all stay as they are .deserve a start in life and why kill cubs,surely they can be moved if need to be..those with the knowledge will understand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why do they need feeding if the place is overrun with rabbits ? Just leave them be i never once said they "needed" feeding, i just like to think im doing my bit to help them into adult hood, fact is your probably right they dont "need" feeding they get a rabbit maybe one a week and they got a bit venison that was unintentionally defrosted. end of the day its peoples choice wether to feed them or not, as with everything people have opinions and as always people will disagree. at the end of the day im not not going to feed them because some people dont like it. i dont like hares getting shot, would much rather see them with a dog up its arse, i have a mate who shoots them and i dont expect him to stop just cause i disagree. FACT: EVERY ONE HAS OPINIONS JUST NOT THE SAME. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
