brenner 773 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 There wouldn't be a case of a wall being built somewhere that i wouldn't be keen on.its completely different.god forbid you ever land a big building contract that demands you dig your foundaitions were there are burrows in summer time. If you wanted to stay within your code of ethics i guess you would have to say by by to alot of money and risk ruining your name in the prosess for any further contracts. You never know, stranger things have happened. 1 Quote Link to post

stormyboy 1,352 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I agree about killing for the sake of it when there's young about, but in some areas rabbits do a lot of damage probably more so in summer when numbers are at their highest and crops are growing or they are undermining areas. So a farmer pays you to control them. You tell him to wait till winter when the damage is done? Like I said I'm not a fan of hunting in the breeding season but sometimes its a necessary evil. Good luck getting your site agent to wait till you deem it suitable to build the fictitious wall on a rabbit burrow btw! Lol 1 Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm not on the wind up . theres a difference between rats in a house and quarter grown rabbits in a field. The difference between ferreting for work and ferreting for sport is that the money will make you do things that ethically you wouldn't do if you weren't getting paid. to me it's a dangerous mindset if money steers your judgement. To me and anyone I know that hunts killing young or killing at all in summer is a no no and people won't hunt with you and you'd get a bad name. they get enough of a hammering by the droves of lurcher men and shooters during season. but you seem to think that because someone gives you pounds that all of this is null and void .iv never caught rabbits that small on the lamp and I lamp a lot.maybe because there not out on the land much during winter. The mercenary bit-if I went to fight for a foreign force opposed to my country it would be wrong So if they paid me to fight it would still be wrong regardless of what bills i had. for me I can't morally use wages for justification for my actions. extinguishing life shouldn't be something you profit from So presumably you're a vegetarian? Because if not how do you condone eating meat when every pig behind the sausage, every beast behind the steak, every chicken etc etc has had its life extinguished for profit.... 2 Quote Link to post
krawnden 1,036 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Being paid for it is no excuse IMO .a mercenary at war getting paid for his actions doesn't justify them.i like to give an animal a sporting chance of getting away and I won't kill during the summer You're completely ignoring the fact that it's a legal obligation for landowners to control rabbits - Section 1 of the Pests Act 1954 places a continuing obligation on occupiers of land in a rabbit clearance area (that is, the whole of England and Wales except the City of London, the Isles of Scilly and Skokholm Island), to kill or take any wild rabbits living on or resorting to their land, unless they can demonstrate that it is not reasonably practicable to do so. In the latter case they have an obligation to prevent the rabbits from causing damage elsewhere by, for example, fencing them in with rabbit-proof fencing. These obligations are continuing obligations and action to control rabbits should be taken whenever it becomes necessary to do so.If an occupier fails to take the specified action he/she would be liable for prosecution. 1 Quote Link to post
Allan P 1,149 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I live in the South West of England and rabbits breed virtually all year so with your ethical stance no rabbits would be hunted ever. It's a nice idea Kevin but most people live in the real world. 1 Quote Link to post
kevin kiely 66 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 We're talkin about very young rabbits and getting paid for clearing them out.your swear there was an epidemic of rabbits in England even though most fellas on here when i read about lamping etc.say their area has a scarcity of rabbits or they have to spend hours on the motorway to get a descent night.are professional rabbit catchers really needed to work all year round through the breeding season also.i will agree they are needed for some specific jobs but for people having a full time job doing it no wonder the land is so barren in places Quote Link to post
Allan P 1,149 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 If there wasn't a need for full time professional rabbit catchers I guess there wouldn't be any full time professional rabbit catchers. 4 Quote Link to post

socks 32,253 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Kevin 90% of my contracts are on places that you will NEVER get permission on ... Let me ask you a question Kevin ... If rabbits were digging up the bones of your parents or grandparents in a cemetery would you be happy for me to kill the rabbits ... Young and old ??? ........
