just wondering...

[darren watson 14]

Hi all. our lasses allotment's got rabbit crap on it and I'm wondering about the legality of shooting on it? she rents it off the council so would i need their permission, or would just hers do? any advice welcome. if it turns out its ok i think i'll canvas the entire allotment to see if any of the other plot owners have rabbit problems, im sure its rife with rats as well.

Im not too positive about it but i think u would need to contact council and talk to everyone on the allotment

 

But wait more replys

you need permission off the land owner OR tennant.

 

but when getting involved with councils you will need a health and safety policy ( including risk assesments) and insurance.

 

general shooting laws need to be taken into consideration i.e bounderies , footpaths and highways.

 

from experience you will have better luck trapping rather than shooting.

 

because if you add all the above together you have a hell of a mission to complete just to pop off a few bunnies.

 

not trying to put you off , but you have to ask yourself if its worth it.

 

cheers

this somthing like you will need

 

risk assesment

 

and you may need one for every tennant, landlord or agent.

yeah, i had wondered how much of a mission it would be. I cant imagine the council ok'ing it, even if people on the surrounding plots did.
