king ratcatcher Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 no m8, it is not legal, cheque the defra lisence, you can shoot black backed gulls and another kind, but you will need to look it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theskyfox Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I would like to point you here: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/regulat/...n/wlf100087.pdf The defra licence for protecting wild birds. Under that licence, you CAN shoot three types of seagull (listed on the licence). Take a peek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Brown Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 soo you can shoot them as long as you have the defra licence. thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roblade Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi Elliot, seeing your name up here ahs reminded me to get those directions in the mail to you. as for sea gulls and airguns, generaly NOT a good idea. Few weeks ago heard on TLR that a margate lad had been arrested for shooting a seagull with an air rifle, not because it was a seagull, but the charge was crulety to animals, which as far as the RSPCA is concerned is a pretty easy case to prove. i.e. animal shot but not killed, RPCA officer finishes animal humanely. Have a look at the sticky that is at the top of this forum, there is only one sticky so should find it easily ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
