"BAC" wrote in message snip So, the question seems to remain, is killing a captured squirrel by drowning 'reasonably swift and humane', Ten seconds! Is that swift enough? Drowning is not humane, in my opinion, FWIW, but maybe the courts would take a different view. RSPCA told me they would arrange for the matter to be investigated, if a complaint were made on their cruelty hotline, and I suppose that would be the first step. But it is quick. But the law doesn't say a method should be 'quick and easy', it says it should be 'swift and humane'. I first participated in this thread, IIRC, when someone asked whether drowning trapped squirrels was 'legal' in this country. For the reasons I have explained several times, I personally doubt whether it would be regarded as a lawful means of dispatch. However, that decision would be up to the prosecutors and ultimately the courts, not me, what's needed is a test case. |
