[salukiwhippet 6]

Thoughts gents?

My own take on it is that he should be fined, nothing deserves to be drowned when there are so many better options! It's fools like him who will see all trapping banned.

I agree with you james he should be fined for what he did, he could have banged it on the head or shot it with a airgun...Drowning must be a nasty way to die for anything

The RSPCA warned that many common methods of killing grey squirrels and other pests could now fall foul of the law, and said the only humane way to dispatch them would be to take them to a vet for a lethal injection - at a cost of up to £70.

Don't set traps if you don't have an apropriate dispatch method. Amateur trapping does a lot of damage to what we do. . . .

£1,547 to cover RSPCA costs. . . . .????

In Any Trapping Methods The Most Humain Way Of Dispatch Should Be Used Every Time I Have Total Respect For Every Pest I Come Across Otherwise I Wouldnt Be Doing My Job Right.

Now were does the rabbit catcher, come into this equation, longnetting ???? ferreting or caught in a purse net,is this going to set a precedent for humane despatch laws.

we all know that a caught rabbit needs despatching humanely so how do we go about it,do we all need to take the rabbits to a vet to be put asleep for god sake this country is fukked

 

 

The RSPCA has done itself no favours here,in my eyes

I know the rspca have recomended the vet visit,but how do you get it there your not allowed to transport wild animals as it causes them stress.I think that we should all phone the rspca and let them deal with te squirrels that we trap they would have to uthinise them on the spot as they cannot transport them and they cartainly cannot let them go as there are laws against that too .....put the problem firmly on thier doorstep and let them come up with a solution,let them call a vet out every time you trap a squirrel and let them foot the bill too.

[salukiwhippet 6]

And it's stupid comments like the two above that will get trapping banned.

I agree drowning is cruel.

But wouldn't it be worth it if you could afford 70 quid to bring a rat into that RSPCA officer who said that and ask him to inject it.

Illegal to release so he'd have to do it.
