my granddads exactly the same, he blags used oil off me to mix with his creosote for his garage, he built it with his grandad and its still going strong it only looks like its going to fall over.
What a load of one sided shite, trouble is its these lot that make it harder to gain permission due to the hassle they can cause.
It depends where you are iv been mooching around all week with the dog and rifle nobody bats an eyelid. If I did that at home it wouldnt be 10 minutes before the squad turned up spouting shite.
correct mate, and they cant see the fish so they have no idea what lives there. a cull will never happen but the ability to protect livestock from apex preditors like every other farmer should.

I did hear rumours of cormorants being added to the general licence so fingers crossed.
If you mean will an otter take a 35lb carp? Yes they have took bigger some of the fish in the picture I posted are over that. Also heard of a 37 common and a 41lb mirror took last week.
cormorants might do a lot of damage but they are not protected or released by clueless people. if your in Manchester you have otters already its just a matter of time before you get hit.
seen the same myself mate, put a fence up on our lake but its only one of a few in lancashire.
Also meant we have had to fence all other wildlife out for the sake of one.
heres one I had caught

don't go moaning when theres nothing to catch as you cant fence the rivers, hope the terriers lads dealt with them same as they would a fox.

It wasn't wasted and no different to any decent breeder of anything has to do. Especially if they are governed by laws.
Maybe abit much butchering it in front of the kiddies but that's the way life is.
