    Cats are recognised in law as domestic animal!! its when the they revert back to living in the wild ie; returning to a feral existance that they become a pest. if you have cats living on your land and they are feral?? you are allowed to control them!! and that means culling them by shooting or any other lawful means. To say a cat cannot be owned is a nonsense!! some people spend hundreds/thousands of pounds on a cat?? (personally I would'nt give them house-room) Anyone who knowingly or purposely kills some-one's pet moggie is up shit creek without a paddle if caught!! In my opinion anyone

    This is advice our Director gave on another site If anyone on this forum wants a reduced membership of SAC's and the benifits of our insurance let me know on this thread. If Ian B agrees?? and we have at least eight members and over of this forum we could have a hunting life club membership that would only cost £20 per individual under 18's get free membership with full benifits!! The insurance covers all fieldsports in the UK. Tom "As a result of the tragedy on 1st January when a chuild was killed by bull terriers, the police and RSPCA/USPCA have mounted a vindictive campaign

    Depending on circumstances current legislation allows individuals who have served a prison term, provision to hold a shotgun certificate?? We at the Scottish Association for Countrysports have a member sentenced to an 18 month custodial sentence over 20 years ago, who will be shortly in receipt of his shotgun certificate. If an applicee is not banned by the courts or the current legislation he/she is entititled to a SC, An application fp a firearms cerificate is different and more stringent. There is no such thing as a spent conviction on firearms or shotgun applications, All convictions must

This is the definitive book on rabbit behaviour in the wild!! Richard Adams in his book Watership Down" acknowledges he got most of his information on rabbits' from Lockley's book and he also writes the forward in this edition. If anyone wants a swap for a couple of badges!! make me an offer!! This book an ideal addition to any ferreter's or rabbiters collection Tom Pm:for details

    Charlotte!! you tried to help a dog in distress therefore thats a point we'd all act on the organisation you contacted are a waste of space and in my book should be closed down as they destroy more healthy dogs they can re-home elsewhere?? you made a deciscion based strictly on the welfare issue re: the dog, for that you should be commended Find a Lurcher rescue like LB's and donate your £5 pounds a month to that Good luck Tom

    Be aware of this. I had a lucky escape. I walked into B&Q at lunchtime and some old guy dressed in orange asked me if I wanted decking. Fortunately I got the first punch in and that was the end of that. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky. :whistle: Tom
