DogMagic 461 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I was walking the dogs on some common land the other day. Luckily it was one of the rare days i didnt take the ferrets with me. After a 2 hour walk i get back to the car and there is a police land rover parked next to it. I thought "well iv nothing on me so might as well just front the twat out". Sure enough as i get closer he gets out and says hello to me. I say hello back and he tells me he is a wildlife crime officer and the reason why hese here is my vehicle has been spotted recently by one of the keepers and i had lurchers (no getting out of it now as i had 3 lurchers with me!) and "in his opinion" i had been rabbiting. I said "nah not me officer, there aint even many rabbits about here is there?"! Then i said "its not really fair accusing me of being a poacher just cos i own lurchers is it? Thats like calling you a dog fighter just cos you own a staffy". Had a bit of a chat, he did his usuall checks, whats your name, address bla bla, is this your car bla bla then we went our seperate ways. Long story short i know they are looking out for my motor now so i need to give it a miss for a few weeks or go some other bit of land. No point taking the piss out of them. So...........no its not legal but so long as you dont take the piss or be to blatent about it you should be ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest INTERNET-HUNTER Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 give it ago and if you get caught just act dumb and plead innocence, as long as your only ferreting you will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 its probably worth asking the local council for permission. Under Section1 of the 1954 Pest Control Act, the occupier of the land (ie the owner, or tenant if the land is rented) is legally obliged to control rabbits on their land (or prevent them from causing damage). This Act is in force throughout the UK, except the Scilliy Isles and the City of London. There are large amounts of rabbit on council land near my old house in Colchester. When I spoke to their pest control department, they told me that the tenant was responsible for giving permission. Fortunately I already had permission from him, so it was crack on with the snaring! If the rabbits are on land owned by National Rail, try Network Rail's National Helpline on 08457 114141. Ug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now that numer could be useful as two of my permissions border the railway and thats where the little buggers go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unlacedgecko 1,467 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 If the rabbits are causing damage on your permissions, but living on National Rail land, then National Rail have a legal duty to control the rabbits, or implement measures to prevent them crossing onto your permissions. If they dont, contact Natural England, who will force them to implement controls, or do the rabbit control themselves and charge the costs to National Rail. Ug.
