I know what ground your talking about...your mans a head bin anyway, I hope his rabbits rot, because he loved them being there and nobody being allowed near them..In the daytime when hes about anyway!!

And what is wrong with that, it's his land, I presume, and it's his choice :mad:

And you should respect his wishes and not go there when he's not around. It's people like you who get land 'closed'. Obviously not a sport or food supply to you but a way to make money ? :mad:

Maybe that's why he doesn't let you in ?

Lads, there was a similar thread that Sparks closed thatI think was brought off topic. Insinuations were made that the OP wanted rabbits for blooding lurchers when clearly he didn't.

I am also after rabbits for steadying my springer & would love to get some. There is no intention to blood the dog before that crap starts again. He wouldn't be much good if he started catching them. This method is perfectly acceptable & used by professional trainers. All our local ones got mixy few years back & wiped them out...

Any leads???

Regardless of what end purpose for which anyone wants rabbits, the Charter for this forum specifically states:
"5. Live Animals
Specifically prohibited are wild animals..."

That means NO trade, sale, donation, or anything else, of wild animals, for whatever purpose.

When the trade of live animals was allowed here (restricted solely to dogs and ferrets, if anyone cares to read the charter), our advice from the NPWS (and Boards.ie legal advisors) was that unless done under licence, the trade, sale, or relocation of wild animals by any means is illegal. Until someone well qualified to state otherwise comes along, all such transactions will remain prohibited here.
This particular forum comes in for a lot of 'outside' scrutiny, so we MUST err on the side of caution in these matters.

By the way, this also applies to 'call birds' (magpies for use in Larsen traps), so it'd be nice if people stopped looking for those here too.


This thread's gone off the rails with multiple charter breaches, including, amazingly, 'not so well concealed' admissions of entering lands against the landowner's express wishes; thread closed.
