Farm inspection rules

Recommended Posts

When out in the fields, if I have a crow, squirrel or fox, I put it out of sight in a bush or hedge to be scavenged or naturally recycled by nature.

Talking to a local farmer who recently had a farm inspection, and was praised for having a few fenn traps in tunnels about the buildings rather than using poison for rats, he was told any captures had to be burnt or buried. He had been chucking them on the muck heap where they eventually ended up in the muck spreader.

So why burnt or buried ? If he had used poison they could have ended up anywhere.

It must be a question of degree. The risk assessment. I for one am asked to leave clean carrion out for scavengers. By that I mean no lead contamination. That’s why I prefer to use rimfire for small vermin because the shot invariably passes through. Vermin caught in Fenns will not have any lead as a result in capture. I don’t see the problem.
