.philmypower. Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I could set traps rob but wouldn't be able to check them every night. Planning some ratting over Xmas and a few of the terriers are new to it so thought a few live ones would give them a head start. Infact it's only my dog that's done any ratting. There's 5 dogs going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wj939 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 If its a terrier it already knows! Especially when the other four have one and it wants one for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
955i Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Very much check your legalities on this one!! Allowing animals to kill live animals is restricted in the UK, often allowed for people that keep reptiles which will not accept dead food offerings but dont think your case would be acceptable under the 'without causing unnecessary suffering' laws.

steveyb Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 One of the best ways to get a young terrier started is take him along and see the others work and keep him on a lead. Once he see's them working and gets exited just let him go he,ll soon get the hang of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpicide Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Totally illegal once a rat is trapped you are obliged to humanelly kill it that does not entail releasing it for terriers to kill. This is an open site so be careful what you post. Terriers do not normally have any hesitation in Killing ,catching or hunting rats a couple of near misses in the open or a hedgerow just gives them the I must try harder call.Pm me if you want any additional info there is at least one terrier club in N. Wales they may let you have a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddanby111 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Agreed. A little irresponsible. What's next, training your dog to fight ? People who know dogs and what the do know that it's man that make dogs fight for money and status, a terroir catching rats is natural and instinctive is it now......

It's a bit crazy how they won't let dogs get em, a rat has to be humanly killed is fair enough, if I were said beastie, I'd rather a dog get me and break my neck in a split secon that be poisoned with a anti blood clotting system that makes you die in up to 36 hours, blending and dying slowly.....

Hummmmmm humane huh your quoting is all WRONG, its perfectly ok to let terriers take rats, its illegal to live trap them and then throw them to the dogs, poisons have moved on since gen1, it may have been true back then, but not now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scientists at Reading University are after rats (dead) in the area between Oxford, Southampton, Dover and Cambridge. you call them up, and they tell you how to go about it all and give you vials to collect the samples As to the question, it's illegal to relocate pest/non indigenous species without a license. I suspect this would go even if you were planning to have them killed immediately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
