The answer to that one is a resounding no. Sorry but that's the reality. |
No not misunderstood, and really not directly a response to your post though i quoted you. I thought I could see where this thread was headed by the hang um high brigade those that know little on the subject do not listen to the truth or facts leading to a downward spiral. In Derbyshire we are pretty lucky an 4 wildlife officers are on call, in fact the last BOP brought here was swiftly followed by 3 visits by 2 wildlife officers in 2 days, though i informed them it was here as soon as it arrived.
