Chocolate drops always worked! But I then to drive a good two miles in
order to let the little brutes loose; Dropping them over the wall only
meant they were back within 24 hours.

NB It is illegal to release vermin into the wild, whether or not the
vermin came in from the wild.

True, but are fieldmice classed as vermin? (Or are they like weeds, nice
ickle things, but in the wrong place?)

And I'd like to know why the RSPCA are allowed to release sackfuls of
urban foxen into the wild, where they just die due to lack of their
usual prey, the urban dustbin.
