Few Interesting Facts

[whippeter69 88]

Setting snares for rabbits is largely a waste of time for pest control. This is because mortality from natural causes will have reduced rabbit numbers to their lowest level by the winter. Up to 90% of young rabbits born during the summer will have died by this time without intervention by man.

 

With numbers at their lowest, rabbits could be cage trapped and removed to an area where they will cause no harm, and crops are protected by fencing.

 

The humane traps should be set in short open vegetation and checked at least twice a day, early morning and late afternoon. For more information on the use of cage-traps for rabbit control the Rural Development Service has produced a comprehensive leaflet.

 

In many situations, electric fencing can be more cost effective than control methods that have to be undertaken year after year. Traditionally, permanent wire-netting fences have been used to deny rabbits access to vulnerable areas but more recently, temporary electric fences, either netting or multi-strand wire systems, have become popular methods of crop protection. When correctly erected and maintained, wire-netting and electric fences can reduce rabbit numbers on protected fields by 85-90%.

Absolute crap, sorry.

 

It is an offence to release certain 'alien' species (like North American Mink, Grey Squirrels etc) but it is NOT illegal to release pest species.

 

If you are so sure that it is, perhaps you would like to tell us all exactly what legislation it is that you are referring to?
