That's given me an idea ...

How about gangs of poncy men in Red Jackets, on Horseback, following groups of trained Pine Martins through Grey Squirrel infested woodland.

Incidentally, anyone know the name for a group of Pine Martins?

I know a group of ferrets is called a business or busy-ness & more importantly a group of weasels is known as a boogle, gang, pack, sneak or confusion.

Speaking of Weasels, has anyone here seen them perform their mesmerizing Weasel war dance, after fighting or catching food?

I used to work a Ferret who would do that regularly, especially if a Rabbit had outwitted him!
Needless to say, I quickly learned NOT to put my fingers anywhere near him, when he was dancing!

Cheers
Dick

Drowning rats is without a doubt considerably more welfare friendly than the main way that is used to kill them which is poisoning.

I was reading an article about rat baiting Rat-baiting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia at 3 or 4 seconds per rat, dogs have to be right up there in the welfare friendly stakes.
