They want to disrupt your activities, but do not want to be prosecuted for criminal damage or theft. Quote Link to post

If you are working legally, then tell the land owner, and try to catch the culprit. A lot of folks don't like snares, and there is no doubt that they can be a cruel method of catching rabbits, BUT and it's a big but, they are legal. They are legal because rabbits can decimate crops, and snares set properly, are an efficient method of rabbit control. Be on top of the game. Read all the pinned articles by snareman and woodga. Use tealers made from 2.5 mm fence wire and paint the tealers with Vauxhall leaf green paint. The culprit won't see them then. Check at first light. Above all, go out of your way to be as humane and professional as you can. Respect your quarry, and reduce suffering to the very minimum. A lot of people don't know much about country things, and are brought up on Disney films, showing foxes and rabbits all being friends, etc. Hide the snares as you won't change their ideas, unless you can get them alone and "have a word".

Knowing your reputation Snareman, I for one wouldn't be tampering with your snares. Quote Link to post
