[QUOTE="CopperBeech, post: 913782, member: 8925"] Just a quick point r.e the 'GUN IS GOD' attitude. There are plenty of places where 'squeaking it in with a rifle and shooting it' is just not an option. For example on the free range chicken farm I do the fox control on, that is bordered by the motorway, and has various houses dotted about. Not to mention lamp shy foxes etc. Obviously when dispatching snared / trapped vermin, a gun is an ideal tool. However, a knife or 'priest' (as in club, not man of the cloth) are also good stand ins. It also somewhat annoys me that folk believe that shooting is THE humane way of culling vermin. I've seen enough bad shots and midnight cowboys to know that it's not always so humane. To be fair, my number one most preferred way to kill foxes was with a good lurcher, but then the ban came a long and ruined that! But i'm sure most on here would think a dog killing a fox is highly cruel???? [/QUOTE]
