| Re: Snares
snares are legal so long as they are free running or stopped - the sort that can only tighten (locking snares) are banned - I make no comment on the rights and wrongs as we recently had a long (and acrimonious) debate - see thread pettition on banning snares in scotland and i'm not going there again
Gin traps are not snares - they are a toothed form of snap trap (like a minature of the mantraps you see in cartoons) and were generally used on poles to catch birds of prey, or as leghold traps to catch foxes etc - these are banned.
fenn traps are a legal form of snap trap which do not have toothed jaws - these can legally be used in tunnels or covered situations to control rodents, mustelids etc but cannot be legally set on poles or in the open.
