Welsh snare ban


Recommended Posts


Honestly what y'all call a snare if PROPERLY MADE AND USED would be one of the furthest things from cruel I could imagine. Talk to Glenn Waters on FB from time to time and his snares are humane as all get out. Basically a choke collar for dogs. The free running locks y'all have to use paired with a good swiveling and cable ( not the brass wire stuff) are something else as far as animal welfare.

we already use a stop on the brass rabbit snares...check them a minimum of twice a day...what other hoops do we have to jump through? carry on regardless,just be more discreet...f**k them and their laws ?DSC_3083.JPG.0394c4ec7322e45fced16a349a370832.JPGDSC_3084.JPG.d629827f5ba25d8b71bc08cafce3e123.JPG

My point exactly. Definitely wouldn't use brass for anything past small game honestly, inherit problems there but hell wat y'all are already using are humane as hell. 

I cant even catch a target animal due to all the free roaming domestics around here and I'll tell ya ,I've snared and released so many pets, strays and hunting dogs UNHARMED here it's crazy. Alot of them multiple times in the same week. Most of the time I walk up and their just sitting there . And alot of mine ARE set up as kill snares. Even then a properly constructed and loaded snare that catches them properly will have a critter out cold and dead in under a minute via basically a blood choke (cutting off blood flow not air flow is how a well made snare should work. Don't know I've you've ever seen someone get blood choked in MMA or something but you have a 30sec struggle or less till you blacked out , ask me how I know).

Cruel.... Dont. Make me laugh. Maybe in the hands for some jack wagon farmer who has a grudge against the fox that killed his chicken so he only checks his stuff weekly or the keyboard survivalist who doa t know what the f**k their doing , but in the hand of someone who actually knows AND CARES..

  The same jackasses pushing this probably LOVE all the wolf capture and relocation stuff they do all over the world but have no clue the researchers use TOOTHED traps . I'm not even joking on this . Look up a LPS #7-#8 .

I bet the same people wouldn't have a problem using rat poison that kills via internal hemorrhaging or some other nasty measure when a rat gets into their kitchen but it's cruel when you stake a fox on basically a relaxing choke collar for a few hours. Ridiculous!

I use fox snares from time to time, I genuinely don’t have a problem with them.

Used to love snaring rabbits, I never used a stop on rabbit snares.

If you fence set, it won’t matter if you have a stop on a fox snare or not, they will kill themselves doing cartwheels round the wire.

Never used stops on rabbits snares, they don’t need em, never shared anything bigger than a rabbit or rat so can’t really comment on how effective or inhumane they are 

get my snares from a keeper in Scotland,the stops are for if deer get caught by the foot Don, apparently that's a law up there?

Wired THOUSANDS of critters over the years, Fox, Badger, Deer , Hares and Rabbits, Rats, stoats , Squirrels,. etc..

Fabulously primitive method of catching an animal,.. BUT, ya gotta be fair about things...?

I learned the old adage many, many years ago, "If ya aint gonna check em' then for fecks sake, don't set em'!

Wire Snares are as old as time itself, they are cheap, efficient and amazingly versatile, but,. their days are numbered....?

Our crowded British Isles ,..are simply too small to allow the continuation of these amazingly useful pest control tools...

This is a shame, .but it is a fact....?
