"Alan Holmes" wrote in message ... "BAC" wrote in message ... snip Who is this 'us'? As far as I am aware, you are virtually alone in the regular deliberate drowning of grey squirrels. Other people who trap grey squirrels, presumably, manage to deal with them in a humane manner in spite of your suggestion it is impossible to do so. I've already posted the Forestry Commission Technical Advice Note which includes a description of removing the squirrel for bashing over the head - not for shooting. FC do not recommend shooting either in or out of the trap. I'm afraid I don't recall you giving a detailed decription as to how to remove the squirrel from the trap. As I'm a very simple man and cannot understand complicated manuscripts please do not refer me to a source where the text is more than a few words long. I'm sure at some time you have mentioned shooting squirrels in the trap. I'd imagine other people would shoot the creature in the trap. If you were genuinely concerned about the practicalities of a more humane form of disposal, you could contact the RSPCA, your friends at the FC, the bloke who sold you the traps (to see whether he now offers different advice) the advice line of your local council's pest control department, or DEFRA, perhaps, for expert guidance. When I'm next in Bridgewater I will go to the farm suppliers and ask them, if I can remember to do that, the brain is very poor at the moment. Evidently. |
