Papercase Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Afternoon, I've just read through the new licences WML-GL34, 35 & 36. They are explicit in explaining the methods used and species they are to be used against however I cannot see any explanations within the text of what is meant by: "to conserve wild birds and conserve flora", "preserve public health and safety" and; "prevention of serious damage". As far as I can see the do not give any examples of what this would apply to? Have I missed something obvious? Is there guidance from the previous GL's that would apply to this? Forgive me if I have missed something blindingly obvious. Many hanks Papercase Edited June 14, 2019 by Papercase crappy spelling ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerCat Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Normally with legislation, if the words are not specifically defined then the common dictionary definition is used to define their meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Its my experience that you do not want too finely defined definition, this permits commonsense to be applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papercase Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Both good point's - it's more a case of I would like to be sure before I put myself in a certain situation such as would roost shooting be acceptable even though the wood you are in is a mile away from the field being damaged and your at the point of damage - or would the shooting of pigeon around your beat to keep numbers down be a acceptable for preventing/limiting serious damage etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 David BASC has posted further down this section that roost and stubble shooting is permissible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
