Isn't that to get rid of a pest thats causing problems? Couldnt see any pests in the TV programme? Hear what you are saying and agree with where you are coming from WILF I just feel like we could all be tarred with the same brush and im sure many will agree that we despatch in the most humane manner possible, yes dogs get injured doing "legitimate" terrier work but as Ive said; its to get rid of a pest. Dont want to totally disagree with your words though - just trying to express my thoughts.
