Aled_cky Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 my local gunsmith today was telling me about an article where a farmer that had no Public Right of Way's on his land at all had a lady on his land and she went to the RSPB complaining about 'Cruelty to Birds with Illegal Traps' this farmer was using a larsen trap(legal) and the RSPB went over to the farmer and complained... very silly story as for 1 the women was tresspassing and for another thing Larsen Traps are not illegal.(even my local RSPB island bought larsen traps from my uncle).. i didnt get the whole story but the last thing we need in the country now is more and more 'greenies' even they though are doing the illegal thing by tresspassing. my uncle had a larsen trap in the middle of his land and some visitors went to it in there land rover(deep inside his land near no public right of way) and they released his magpie call bird and then drove over the trap so it could not be used again.. as most people would be he was furious. whats happened to the country? most people going back 50years would be in definet favour of this as vermin will eat young birds/animals at a very young age of under 5minutes.

sutty Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Aled cky Same sort of story on one of the farms were i shoot . Earlier in the week one of the lads went down to check his larsen trap and to feed/water the call bird. When he got there it was gone and the trap was trashed, it was no were near any right of way/footpath. The doogooders who did this are obviously not educated in the ways of the countryside and probrably think it a pagan ritual of some kind, keeping a maggie caged up. perhaps if they realized what damage these birds do to other song-birds and their nests etc they would be more appreciative of the reasoning behind such traps. Then again maybe not? Regards Sutty :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sniper Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 Aled, Plinkers post would have been less than useful if he hadn't put the laughter smillies after it. Thats what they mean............he was having a joke. Chill out and have a laugh. Lifes too short. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
