Sadly, yes. Seven of them.

Yes and in a train carriage full of people. How nobody else got hit is a miracle. The copper that shot him was well out of control but who could blame him. So would you be if you believed you were almost certainly going to get blown up in the next few seconds.

It takes an immense amount of courage to go into a train carriage like he did, even if it turned out he was wrong

The tree huggers aue up in arms again. If they were shot with something decent then the RSPCA can wind their necks in, it's nothing to do with them anyway.

 

It's still a Bl**dy stupid place to leave the bodies though. It does put an unfavorable light on shooting.

 

Whoever did it, nice shooting, but don't be so stupid about where you leave the bodies again.

Oh dear, now I'm in a real quandry - I've just shot a fox using my Bruno .222 with a 50gr softpoint bullet (Much more powerful than my QB78 in .177 (Sub 12 ft/lb) which I guess I should have used to avoid any possible "overkill") - The .222 50gr Softpoint has made a hell of a mess of the poor fox and killed it very quickly (Instantly to be precise). I have a black bin bag available to put it in but should I leave it there or should I take it to a vet for a post mortem while I wait for the newspaper reporters to arrive?

Please help me as I don't know what to do! :good::lol::)

:yes::P:P:lol::P:lol::good:

p.s anyone know if its legal to put them in your green recycling bin. Ours now takes food carcasses and most waste

 

Id not put foxes in the green bin, they watch what comes out, and you cant put bags in it. If you have to get rid of foxes in the bin the way i heard......double bag em and put them in the non recycle, they dont check bags....allegedley!!!

 

However, I have put pigeon carcasses in the recycle one and they didnt say a word!!! :good::)

Shooting enthusiast condemns people who dumped dead foxes in Wrexham car park

A SHOOTING enthusiast says someone might have had a legitimate reason for killing foxes whose bodies were found in a supermarket car park.

 

But he condemned the dumping of the blood-drenched corpses in a public area.

 

Ian Braisbell, 45, of Caia Park, Wrexham, has been shooting since he was a boy and owns a number of licensed rifles and shotguns.

 

He is also a member of a local gun club.

 

He said: “Since the ban on hunting foxes with dogs was brought in a few years ago the number of foxes has rocketed, in towns as well as in the countryside.

 

“They are considered to be vermin and therefore it is legitimate to shoot them.

 

“But this has to be done properly and humanely.”

 

After the bodies were discovered by shocked shoppers near the recycling area of the Asda car park last Monday, the Leader arranged a post mortem examination by veterinary surgeon Denis Callanan, of Borras Park Vets.

 

He said he was surprised to find the animals – an adult male with a male and a female both under a year old – had been killed by powerful bullets which expand and splinter on contact.

 

Mr Callanan said he and colleagues had never seen such small animals slaughtered in this way, with the soft-nosed ammunition shattering the spines of two of the animals and ripping their bodies apart.

 

But Mr Braisbell claims there is nothing unusual about the way the foxes died.

 

He said: “If you are going to get rid of foxes the most effective way is to shoot them

with soft-nosed bullets, which kill them very quickly.

 

“To have this sort of ammunition you need to have a firearms certificate and a legal reason for using it.

 

“Killing foxes is a legal reason as they are classed as vermin. I doubt very much whether these foxes would have been killed on the Asda car park.

 

“It seems most likely they were shot elsewhere and then dumped there.

 

“But that is totally unacceptable to anyone who knows anything about guns and shooting.

 

“Whoever shot them and then left their bodies there like that should be found and hauled over the coals.

 

“When you kill a fox out in the countryside you always leave the body where it is so the local farmer can find it.”

 

He added: “I’ve been shooting virtually all my life but I’m against hunting foxes with hounds.

 

“However, there are now so many foxes about that something has to be done to control their numbers and shooting is the most humane way.

 

“So far this year I have shot and killed over 20 of them.

 

“But dumping their bodies like this puts everyone who shoots in a bad light.”

 

North Wales Police want to speak to anyone who has information about why the three foxes were killed and then dumped.

 

i go loads of **** after this :blink:?:lol:?

They want to go to the butchers shop, there are animals there that died by having their throats slit after their brains were mashed, then they were cut into little pieces after having their organs and skin removed. Disgusting :lol:

 

I demand something is done about these depraved butchers :blink:

Exact same argument I use with a couple of pals that get all Robin Greensleeves on me when the subject of shooting comes up.

I fully agree.

 

It is such a good job the supermarkets have found a way of making meat on polystyrene trays now so no animals have to die in this barbaric way.
