stubby Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 just my opion, but Id say catch and humainly dispatch, otherwise its as bad as the RSPCA, releasing animals back into unknown enviroment/other foxes terratory, same I did'nt read this yesterday, as I came to norwich this morning, and have traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silpig5 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 i do agree with you about dispatch , but im in two minds really . killing it just because i caught it doesnt seam right , but releaseing in a strange place must be a huge blow to it too . dont gett me wrong , i know all the pros and cons , and never kill for fun , but it is a catch 22 for me . cheers anyway for thought adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthy130 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 mate has just moved to a house that regulary has a visiter that digs up his garden . Are you sre its a fox? Badgers like to dig up gardens.
