The message . 10
from Victoria Clare contains these words: Shooting may be unpleasant, but myxomatosis is worse, and is more likely in an overcrowded warren. Maybe some snares? Also nasty - and I'm not sure I could myself - but supposedly quite quick. Nowadays in the UK, snares have to have a stop to prevent the animal choking itself to death. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Hum, so restraining an animal, presumably around the neck, tight enough so that it can't escape until you happen to come along checking your snares maybe 24hrs later is OK? It may also be attacked or harried by a predator and not be able to escape. Oh and of course it'll almost certainly try to escape for quite a while after being caught, until it reaches the point of exhaustion. What about rain or heavy dew, animal will can't keep warm and dies of hypothermia... Seems to me a death by strangulation within minutes of getting snared is far better. It's also an insurance against assassinating Miss Povey's Prize Persian - thobut I wouldn't fancy the job of releasing it...... It's a cat, tough. Why is a valuable cat being allowed to wander freely? -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |
