No worries Rocks. We kinda gathered it's tongue in cheek especially as your mum's cooking would probably spoil somewhere in transit. ;)

 

Problem is we have legal requirements, in the UK, and as far as not lawful goes your post falls into the all of the above category.

 

Killing it is a straightforward process. Killing it legally, quickly and humanely is dependant on many variable circumstances in the UK.

Well if he cannot figure out how to kill something without useing a gun he should go ask some neighborhood kids for ideas of ; use a sharp stick, knife, bat, rope, exhaust fumes, water, poison, my moms cooking, imagination.

its not that i cant kill something mate its my animal rights protesting biatch of a city slicker neighbour who probably has never even seen a fox that complains to the council for me feeding my harris day old chicks and quail that im bothered about. left to me it would of a close encounter with a spade by now. i might go down my mates farm with a live catch rat trap and post them through his letter box see how he feels about me killing them.

:icon_eek:Hundred and Seventy Five Quid ??? Jesus! That seems harsh! And a solar panal? WTF's That all about? Isn't it mains powered, at that price? I have a battery operated electric fence here. Can't remember what it cost me. But I most certainly would remember if it had cost me a Ton! Batteries are about £10 and last about a year, I think? Either way, if I went down to the Creamery tomorrow with £175 to spend, I'd hope to come away with enough Mains Powered kit to stop a whole pack of foxes till they died of old age or electrocution. Mains unit costs nothing noticable to run and can power hundreds of yards of wire. I know because a neighbour powers his fences from my bill and I've touched the damn things! :icon_eek: Wish I'd seen this earlier. Might have been able to save ye account such a hammering :(

Let's look at your legal options.

 

1. You cannot poison a fox.

2. You cannot use a firearm in a built up area.

3. You cannot use your dog to catch the fox.

4. You cannot use Renardine to attempt to repel the fox.

5. DEFRA's Snaring Code Of Practice says "Snares must not be set on or near public footpaths, rights of way, near housing and areas regularly used for exercising domestic animals to avoid capturing pets."

6. You can live trap the animal, but then you have to dispatch it on site. This causes problems with number 2.

 

Did I miss anything?

 

Your options are limited. What steps has your neighbour taken to keep the fox out of the garden and away from the rabbits? If there is nothing for it to come back for then it probably won't and revenge seems a little odd.

Your spot on, but i wondered how that pest control chap off that TV program manage to shoot two foxes at night with a night sight in that's chaps built up garden ????

If it was me, and if it's a built up area I would use the live catch trap. Before you set it, find out if one of your mates has permission to shoot foxes and such on lands I'd transport him there after catching and dispatch him.

 

Just wondering where it says about dispatching him on site?

 

Or, you could just hire

Stokie; That page blew out, mate. But I see it says " Poultry " in the link? Now, in my experience, the vast majority of outfits who cater for people keeping poultry are geared towards the middle classed, nice jumper wearing lovers of Giles Brandreth who keep a dozen fowl in a factory made pen in their back gardens. And refer to the things as " Their Girls ". Accordingly, such idiots are taken for everything they'll give.

 

F*ck the Bay. Just get onto Google uk and look up Electric fence. Check out some Agricultural Suppliers. Try to find people who deal with real farmers, or better still, just find the manufacturers. Cut out the middle men and save more.

 

What have ye got there? A Harris Hawk in a back garden? I've no idea how much room those birds need, but I'm willing to bet it's a comparitively small enclosure, in the scheme of things. So a Battery Powered unit would likely suffice. If not - or if ye simply want that fox to Really 'feel the force' - check out Just a basic mains unit. I'll send ye the f*ckin tape from my own supplies. Get enough of the 'fence poles' (plastic things with lots of little brackets down them, for setting at various heights) to have one every six to eight feet around the perimeter ye wish to protect.

 

I suspect ye were looking at that " Electric Chicken Wire " stuff, were ye? No need for it. And solar power? Battery will work as well and feed a better kick, I'd imagine. Mains could be set to all but fry the b*stard. Only for god sake don't touch it yeself! :icon_eek:

 

Let us know what ye find out ;)
