oowee Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/27/put-pest-animal-species-on-the-pill-dont-cull-them-says-scientist “Controlling numbers of animals like wild boar used to be achieved by shooting them, but hunting is not as popular as it used to be and is also more expensive, requiring expensive licences,” said Dr Giovanna Massei, Europe director of the Botstiber Institute for Wildlife Fertility Control at York University. She added: “Numbers of individuals who hunt animals are declining in many parts of Europe. As a result, controls of boar populations have weakened.” 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith 66 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 It is a sign of the times, saw an injured muntjac buck in mother in laws garden, almost certainly injured by a car, left back leg was cocked up forwards off the ground so it was on three legs. managed to snap a photo with my phone. Very urban area so next to no chance of dealing with it. I happened to show the photo to someone who said "You need to get hold of a dart gun so it can be taken to the wildlife hospital". As if getting hold of a dart gun & the drugs to fill the dart with is something you can get from a bloke down the pub. No vet is going to lend one out either! My idea would be to put a subsonic in its ear but as my ticket has conditions on it it aint happening. It looked fat enough so obviously has enough to eat so im afraid it will just have to take its chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
