[QUOTE="Cranman, post: 7522981, member: 18186"] Circumstances will determine what method you use. On what grounds would your towny neighbours object to terriers? presumably they are happy that you kill your rats. With all the fuss currently concerning the environment and animal rights, why would they favour killing rats slowly and painfully with poison over a swift death by terrier? Why are they happier that you use poisons that have the potential to get into the food chain, affecting the wider environment? The residues left by terriers can easily be put in a little green bag and hung in a tree on a nearby farm although they are a natural plant food. Dogs have been used to control rats for hundreds if not thousands of years, so far there is no evidence of rats developing terrier-resistance. Rats are constantly evolving resistance to poisons.
