beatingisbest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 also trapping and re-releasing a rabbit, is that legal being that england is a 'rabbit clearance zone'? Rabbit is classed as a pest species so i believe that it is illegal to release them from live catch traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
