It would still be in place for mink, ferrets, stoats, wild boar and any other quarry species that the hunters can come up with.
I had no idea of saying anything that was out of order—but there are things in the world that do stink like stoats.
It seems to me that we are creating a new offence if a man may not set a trap for a stoat.
I remember as a young boy wandering about in the countryside and once witnessing a rabbit being attacked by a stoat.
People cannot destroy kestrels, stoats, and so on, and then not expect the water rat to grow in number.
What will be the effect on foxes and stoats deprived of rabbits?
Certainly, stoats, weasels, and voles do not live under a hedge because it is a parish boundary.
Of course, there would be plenty of wildlife but of a different variety—bats, stoats and weasels.
