Good Reasons For Ferreting

[shepp 2,285]

I was just thinking of reasons why ferreting is a beneficial practice for land owners and possibly for rabbits themselves.

 

Ones i thought of are -

 

In large numbers they will eat grass which is valuable grazing for livestock.

They will erode banks with there warrens.

Holes could damage horses legs.

If not used as a resource then they will become over crowded and more suseptable to mixy.

Will eat the young shoots on coppice.

Will eat the newly sprouting cerial crops.

 

Can anybody think of more?

Yeah, my rifle would get bored, and ferrets would get fat.

 

Its also a legal requirement that the land owner controls them..

Because they are tasty with a sprinkling of chilli sauce and thrown on the BBQ, then washed down with a chilled stella.

I will give it a good wack with a cleaver that should do the trick

[The one 8,482]

Just cut round the limbs and if you only cut the backbone in two theres no need for a cleaver or splinter any bones
