"Alan Holmes" wrote in message ... "BAC" wrote in message ... "John Edgar" wrote in message ups.com... In what way is it illegal to kill vermin by drowning them? One of the best ways I would have thought. I believe it is illegal to drown humans, but grey squirrels? It was technically made illegal by virtue of the Wild Mammals Protection Act 1996 which included drowning amongst the list of abuses outlawed from 30th April 1997. I don't know whether the RSPCA has actually brought charges against anyone for drowning a wild mammal, though, or if they have, whether the perpetrator was convicted. It is the method recomended by the Forestry Commistion for the disposal of this type of vermin. Is it? Do you have a reference for that? Did you perhaps receive that advice prior to April 1997? |
