RSPCA.....WTF!

Ditto - I believe this is a result of the anthropomorphism of all animals by a society increasingly removed from the reality of life outside a concrete jungle.

I feel my charitable efforts should begin at home and there are many useful human issues to which direct my subscription.

I've always shot them when we've needed to control them. They taste quite nice when prepared like crispy duck.

Be careful mate, you might be next, unless you nail everyone through the head.......:)

It really is ridiculous for the blithering buffoons to recommend taking them to the vets or chasing them into a sack and dispatching them with a bleeding shovel...............:D
 
The RSPCA warned that many common methods of killing grey squirrels and other pests could now fall foul of the law,
and said the only humane way to dispatch them would be to take them to a
vet for a lethal injection - at a cost of up to £70.


Well thats me in the **** then

I am sure my customers woul be happy to pay the +£70 fee for a "squirrel job"
( thats nothing like a blow job BTW :D)

Three methods that I use
I) break their necks ( there is a technique)
2) .22 pellet at point blank]
3) a sharp object such as a spike or thin knife up under the chin and out between the ears and eyes.


I have said so many times that the RSPCA are only interested in high profile cases ( for the publicity)
and those that are likely to gain money and support...........
I rest my case, yet again!
 
I find shooting them with a 12 bore shotgun is also imhunmain. One shot and its dead.
 
I take all captured mink and greys to the vets, honest guv,that is why i`m skint.
 
I did witness a warden try and dispatch a rabbit with a spade. Unfortunately he swung the spade like a golf club and the rabbit cleared a hedge. :eek:
 
Some people are just useless.........:lol:
 
I have no problem with them being killed, but I do think that drowning is unnecessarily slow. I speak as a townie who has done nothing more than dispatch a fish with a priest and I found that difficult enough, but thought it better than letting it suffocate.

The fine is excessive, but it could have been despatched in more humane way.
 
Good on them, as drowning is just downright evil - I suppose throwing a sack of new born puppies off a bridge is ok as well?

Personally I can't see what's wrong with putting it in a box and taking it out to the countryside to release, pest or not....

They don't have more pressing things to do, as this is their job....

No.

And why release the damned things in the countryside, we don`t want the bloody things either.
 
I do think that drowning is too slow but the problem will be when the other humane methods of dispatch are questioned.

Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is illegal to release grey squirrels or to allow them to escape into the wild. I need to double check this as it may have been relaxed.

Maybe drowning isn't the quickest method and I would never do it anyway.............
however what you are suggesting ( re-releasing a non indigenous species) is
punishable by £5000 fine and or 6 months "inside"

There were moves to get this relaxed ( Grey's) you are quite right
however it does beg the question WTF?!!!
 
Not being a native species to this country it is also illegal to capture and release them back into the wild... as just posted above.

Drowning is not the correct way to dispatch them, shooting, breaking their necks, bashing them over the head are all acceptable ways of quickly ending things when done properly.

The RSPCA (in general) represent nothing more than a bunch of bunny hugging short sighted morons usually on a power trip. Their grasp of reality is highly questionable, however they unfortunately do some good work which helps fund some of the more stupid things they do, such as getting involved with areas they know very little about.... such as tail docking.

Also their re-releasing polices for foxes is disgusting and often either costly to local farmers/game keepers or fatal to the foxes.

Eh well no not really, apparently there was a farm up here to release them on there land then charge people to come in and hunt them. Crazy barsteward as it covers each side of the road of the lane i use to go to work each morning. Winter won't be fun. Will be going with a nice big bill if one of them runs out and smashes my numberplate again
 
If anyone has a grey squirrel they need dispatched , I will give it a lethal injection for £35 ( 1/2 price deal for this week only ):)

Need to put my prices up when the SSPCA come in with anything if thats what they think it costs
On a serious note there are plenty of nutters out there who object to any form of humane dispatch and insist on releasing the vermin again ... and again ..:bang:

Do you do discount for injections in high volume?...........:D
 
I've had so many run ins with the RSPCA over various things, even joined in a protest on their main headquarters a few years ago, it's just down the road from me, huge place.
But try and get them to come out for a case of genuine cruelty and they suddenly turn deaf and don;t want to know, they really do annoy me.

I had that bother with the SSPCA a few years ago in respect of a horse being kept without food or water.

I find it odd how a sqirrel cannot be drowned, but it is permissible to snare a fox.

:lol: or get fined for cruelty
 
I wouldn't say drowning is exactly humane. I know how I feel when a bit of my drink goes down the wrong way and I'm coughing and spluttering (come on, we've all done it..) and that's horrible enough. I just can't imagine the terror of actually drowning and being unable to breath while slowly life is trickling away from your body. On the other hand, a swift beheading or a gunshot to the head will be almost instant.

I know that if I was going to die drowning would be one of the last ways I'd want to go.
 
no problems with culling them however I do have a problem with drowning them.........
 
If they're not indigenous then maybe they can be shipped back to their native lands, probably put up in a nice appartment in Kensington and eventually shipped out in a few years time, unless their offspring appeal as they will now be regarded as british, in which case they will all have to be re-homed in a new freshly built community. Which they will probably leave and after all that they will arrive back in your back garden - so maybe drowning them is too good for them.
