terryd 8,528 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Just noticed this tonight Wales announces ban on snares - Animal Aid WWW.ANIMALAID.ORG.UK Animal aid is heartened that there is going to be a ban on snares in Wales and hope that England and Scotland will follow. I guess they will include rabbit snares in that. The welsh gov are such a bunch of utter morons. Basc are trying to stop it by making snares licenced blah de blah instead of telling them where they can shove there bill Edited September 28, 2022 by terryd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,528 Posted September 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 They need regular checking and things do happen buts its yet another chip off the block. Got few rabbit snares hanging up which will soon be illegal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,844 Posted September 27, 2022 Report Share Posted September 27, 2022 There is also going to be a review of shooting woodcock. Personally I'd ban fox snares (and night vision/thermal shooting) .....but one more attack is another step nearer to loosing everything so I wouldn't actually support a ban. If that makes sense 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,528 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Snares are like any thing they can be cruel if not used correctly. But not being legally allowed to go out and snare a rabbit in the countryside is so sad. Some thing else about to be gone I got stopped by the police during lockdown and I was carrying some rabbit snares and one of coppers asked the other are they legal and he said yes but not for much longer Snaring a rabbit is a tradition its part of country life. I bet its hardly got a mention and will quietly be bundled with fox snares Edited September 28, 2022 by terryd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,785 Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 You can get friendly snares these are modified Aldrich traps that snare the leg safely, I used to snare a lot when fur was worth money but wouldn’t use them again unless I was living off the land 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
