walshie 2,804 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Dont ask her about dispatching the fox ask her round to cook for you next time the wife goes out Already considered that, but I'm pretty sure she would be veggie. She probably thinks cooking meat is illegal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil82 1,080 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 ask if they have officers who deals with countryside crime and deal with only them, they are usually well clued up, if they turn out to be in any way `anti` as regards to what is legal or not, as in if they make it up as they want rather than what is legal, contact BASC, they wil either point them to correct legislation or try to get them off that role, if they point out that the plod is not able to do the job they will get shifted elsewhere pronto 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I know what you all feel about calling 101 before you do any shooting, and I can assure you I won't be doing it in the future. I've recently had a massive problem with foxes in my garden, so I've caged and dispatched a few over the last few weeks. I've called 101 a few times before I have done the deed in case any of my neighbours complained. I ASSUMED it would be better than having an ARV turn up at my house in the early morning, but I think I would have preferred that. I can only say it has caused me a lot of aggro with the local cops - one of whom I suspect is an anti. The first day I called it in, there was a panda car sitting just along from my house with 2 cops staring at me, but didn't say anything. The second day I called it in, a woman copper phoned my house at 06.15 waking the household to remind me not to shoot badgers - yes, really. Later that day a sergeant came round quizzing me on what I was doing. The third and last time I called it in, this same woman called me, and basically talked drivel for 15 minutes. Here's what she said: 1: You can't bait cages. It's illegal. How else would I get them in the cage? 2: You won't get rid of foxes that way. Seems to be doing a good job so far. 3: SOME PEOPLE might not like what you are doing. I wasn't asking for their blessing, I was just telling them. 4: Fox mange isn't caught from foxes. It's caught from the grass. Where do these people get their info? 5: She had to "check this out" as there had been reports of badger baiting in the area. There are no badgers anywhere near here. 6: She said she was sure what I was doing was legal as if not, they "Would have sent Trident round to see me." I thought that was for gang related crime in London. All of this is because some anti is abusing their position for their own ends. Unfortunately for her I have complained about it, not to her immediate superior, but to her boss's boss's boss's boss. Let's see how she likes being quizzed. Oh yes. I won't be calling 101 any more. When are they going to start arresting the RSPCA then? They often used baited cages! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeakOil 352 Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Every time some half baked moron starts spouting off that something I am doing is breaking the law. I ask them which law? Name the statute and the exact bit you think I am breaking. What year was the law passed? Shuts up 98% of the pricks on the spot and the other 2% either make a law up on the spot or waffle on about a law that has nothing to do with what I am doing. Well done on taking your complaint right to the top. Make sure you ruffle the right feathers and don't be fobbed off. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
