Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Oh, right. See what ye saying now. Thought it was a law about transporting pests. Hang around for a PM, Chris. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocks 77 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I should say before any one gets too upset that i do not know your laws all in fun and good luck but I would put on a pair of gloves a ring his neck then in a garbage bag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Halfinch 51 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Can't you trap it, then take your fiend with gun and said fox to a place where you CAN legally dispatch it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bigredbusa Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 trap it and get a mate to deal with it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jasper65 6 Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 sometimes the best solution in these cases is not to post about these things! but do what you have to do, within the Law obviously .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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! Wish I'd seen this earlier. Might have been able to save ye account such a hammering Chris; What's the craic about Having To despatch on site, mate? Where's that come from? ayup. i aint bought it yet but the price is a little higher than i said and if anyone dont believe me heres the link. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Poultry-Solar-Power-...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ragumup Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 ChrisJones said: 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 ????

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Not a clue. Sounds extremely dangerous and very dodgy legally... but most documentaries on pest control usually show the more "colourful" side of the industry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JohnGalway Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or, you could just hire nearly all my mates have got there killing licences on the slaughter houses. i suppose i could alwys take it there if i catch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 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! Let us know what ye find out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
