1. If, save as permitted by this Act, any person mutilates, kicks, beats, nails or otherwise impales, stabs, burns, stones, crushes, drowns, drags or asphyxiates any wild mammal with intent to inflict unnecessary suffering he shall be guilty of an offence.

 

 

 

 

ASPHYXIATES is the same as hanging, and the advice was to set the snare so it hangs itself...........so it would be ILLEGAL

 

2. A person shall not be guilty of an offence under this Act by reason of-

 

(a) the attempted killing of any such wild mammal as an act of mercy if he shows that the mammal had been so seriously disabled otherwise than by his unlawful act that there was no reasonable chance of its recovering;

 

(b)the killing in a reasonably swift and humane manner of any such wild mammal if he shows that the wild mammal had been injured or taken in the course of either lawful shooting, hunting, coursing or pest control activity;

 

© doing anything which is authorised by or under any enactment;

 

(d) any act made unlawful by section 1 if the act was done by means of any snare, trap, dog, or bird lawfully used for the purpose of killing or taking any wild mammal; or

 

(e) the lawful use of any poisonous or noxious substance on any wild mammal

How did you like the taste?

[rossi_j 99]

I catch them in my squizzer freindly live catch cage with pink fluffy exterior and leapord print interior. . . . . .

 

They die from embarasment when there mates see them

 

On a serious note, I have try'd and failed to catch them on a wire, fair play to those who do it regular it sure is a fine art imo.
