deanflute 550 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 A friend has just contacted me to see about the best way of dealing with a Mink that has set up camp in his neighbours garden, he says it's eating all the fish and frogs from the pond. As I don't know what the laws are regarding them? Can anyone on here shed some light as to the best method? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The law says you musn't release it once it is captured but you have a duty of care to the animal whislt it is under your control. Rolfe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
