TOMO 29,299 Posted Sunday at 15:13 Report Share Posted Sunday at 15:13 I think the method of death might be an issue over here in the UK....those rats and mice are going to tread water till they stop swimming...which is going to be an issue humanly.... The idea is potentially a good one ...but maybe better if they just got sucked up in to the hover without water.... It's an idea that might need a bit more work and testing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Less than £ 200 quid. You don't have to fill it with water either. So no welfare issues to worry about. However you would need to buy one of Mchull's mutts to course them once you open the top. They would miss a lot, but the odd success would give them confidence. The last success they had was with a pregnant hare, which was hunted up and which was also suffering from the RHVD virus. Mc's hounds from Hull would be useless in the slop. So you would have to pursue them yourself with a stout stick. Don't lend it to Mchull though, he would no doubt use it for perverted sexual acts.

TOMO 29,299 Posted Sunday at 18:48 Report Share Posted Sunday at 18:48 If they didn't have water in....could they potentially get back down the tube again...only to get to the trigger and tucked back in....be interesting to see the inside and exactly how it all works Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't mind one for my bird room. But the sound of it triggering might induce 'night fright'. The birds panic in certain circumstances at night and dash themselves against the wire. They can sometimes break a neck. So I'll give it a miss. Edited Sunday at 19:51 by jukel123 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
