ghillies 209 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) by law you have to 'manage' your land, thats to say if you pass a bowling green a farm land whatever and theres loadsa rabbits, you're suposed to ring and report it, some ones sposed to go and see (used to be deffra), if it is a problem then buy law they can be ordered to sort the problem, which, coincidently could be at a 25 pound an hour rate or more... thats why you dont pay to shoot vermin...it'd cost a packet for the pest controlers to do it. edit..the 'old laws' as in the ones thyre piddling about with now were there for a reason, one of the reasons is this case in particular, if you translate the sinario into another 'similar case' you get this.. i dont like you parking your car on your drive BECUASE I DONT LIKE IT'..then all hell brakes out as the fenatical car hating in your drive nutter takes every action posable to distroy you on your own property... its why laws are/were made..not for popularity!

bunnyman 68 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 i find letting the Essex Police Control room know when, where, what i am shooting the time i will be there is appreciated, ,i don,t get any bother , its not a legal requirement but to me its common sense, it also helps that i am well known is my area as The Rabbit Man, having lived in the area for over 50 yrs. atb brian Quote Link to post

End result, hassle free shooting ! atb Phil Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Well I am a tree hugger and ex plod but don't see why we should be over run with vermin, wild or human! Was this man not trespassing? Campaigning against the destruction of rabbits on a cricket pitch is ridiculous. I think the friendly local plod is already sick of this man but should be kept up to date with his fantasies. Campaigning to save rabbits when you run a horse sanctuary is ridiculous, all it needs is one nice deep hole in the middle of the paddock, a spooked horse and voila, Findus Lasagne! 2 Quote Link to post
