Wanna be farmer 0 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just to double check, you do know how to set them don't you? No fence snaring for foxes, as it's illegal. Do you have something appropriate to dispatch it with, Shotgun or Rifle. Quote Link to post

The keeper where i work said that you can get in a load of shit for fence snaring foxes, as if they are found hanging if they tangle the snare around the fence they will get strangled to death and if found by an anti you can get put in court and have a strong case against you. I'll re-check with the keeper but he sames to think that you can't. Quote Link to post

120-2 8 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) We have all read before and it is Code of Practice not law, the only law is not to use locking snares setting them on fences is not illegal but could lead to a prosecution if taken to court and proven that code of practice was not followed and the fox suffered by being strangled or hung up.

OTC Okay, you have established that it is not against the law to fox snare on fences, but you could get in trouble if the fox is found hanging. So unless you can be sure that the fox has no way of hanging it's self, then it's best not to snare on a fence. Quote Link to post
