Dogs Killing Grey Squirrels - Legal or Not?

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

As subject really, what does the law say?

 

Im pretty sure its probably illegal knowing the law as it is today, probably holds a bigger sentence than raping kids

 

What if its an accident? Dog off lead on permission?

 

Cheers

Think them mutjack,mink and any other animals that are not suppose to be in the uk or lreland should have an all year hunt on them but dont know the rules myself as they change from one day to another

Personally i think you should be able to slip your dogs on anything thats not meant to be in the UK or Ireland, on permission or not

It's now illegal mate but accidents happen, so say nothing

Illegal but accidents happen.

Cool. I thought it would be. She didnt catch it but sooner or later the accident will happen im sure.

Rabbits and rats only, I'm afraid; and then only with permission !! Doesn't matter if it's coypu, wallaby or any other exotic, non-indigenous animal, it's against the Hunting Act 2004 to hunt ANY mamall with dogs, except rabbits and rats !

 

Cheers.
