Lurcher-lad, thats the same as baiting a definite NO.. Use the correct means i.e shotgun/rifle.

I don't really know the law, but as I understand it you can dispatch a suffering animal in as humane a way as you have to hand. I have killed many injured creatures with a hammer; draw a vertual line from right eye to left ear, and vic virsa, hit it as hard as you can in the vee created an jobs a goodun.

However as presuemably you have set these snares I think you are on very dodgy ground. I would buy a gun !...410 is perfectly adiquite at the range of snarred fox. A GOOD HUNTER ALLWAYS RESPECTS HIS PREY!!!

Unless you have the means and knowledge to HUMANELY dispatch a trapped fox you should not be setting snares or cage traps for them anyway.

Too many people set snares and traps without giving a moments thought as to how they will deal with the animal once it is caught.

Just because a fox (or any other animal for that matter) is deemed a pest it doesn't mean it should suffer a cruel and inhumane death at the hands of an inexperienced individual.

These comments are not aimed at anyone in particular but are just general observations and ones i feel particularly strongly about.

i think if you dont know how to despatch a fox then you shouldnt be putting snares down.
