No matter though. This isn't face ache. What's said in PM is exchanged in Private Message.

Sorry. I'm probably just a bit 'Old School'.

No offence meant.

Anyway , here goes,  the relevant agency in Scotland, as far as vermin traps & current legislation, etc. They had a stand & the Imbra & Juby were featured on a poster. Got yapping,...& asked why were these traps, now banned, & explained that although im no rabbit trapper, a heard they were effective enough traps, for the purpose ? The representatives there reckoned that because those types hadnt actually been manufactured for a long period (how long, be interested to know, few decade , maybe ???),..then this went some way , in discontinuing their 'Approval' ?,....logic being that maybe they are not as "efficacious" (what does that mean, a asked !!) for the job, anymore ?,.....so basically they might not be  adequate, for the task. Anyway, seems a poor decision, you would think ?

What i do remember is that just before the last updated STAO came in, they put out a questionnaire asking whether anyone wanted these particular traps left on the list. I believe there was little to no response either way, so they removed them from the list  including the Aldrich may i add. The Fenn Rabbit Trap was never under review. Why that is, I don't know.

Eddie, thats interesting. So there was actually consultation, regarding said traps,.....& no real, reaction ?,....forgive ma ignorance , but what is STAO ?

As far as I can remember there was some sort of questionnaire stuck up somewhere regarding said traps. Most probably didn't even see it, or hear of it, till it was all done and dusted. 

By the way, I seem to be mistaken regarding the Aldrich trap. It is still on the STAO. My bad.

Looks like the link to why some of the old traps were removed from STAO is gone, but check this out.
