Rabbit Killed By Snare at Pye Close
Live Hare Being Released from snare near Woole.
Rabbits and hares not killed by the snares, remain exposed, captive, and in terror- at risk for many hours from predators - This from a UK Field Sports website forum: "So I went to check my snares this morning 9am ( snares were out at 10am yesterday) and first one I came accross, it as looking good, as I got closer all I could see was the back leg of the rabbit which i caught last night. It was probably more luck than skill in catching it, but hay im learning. Damn foxes. I guess ill have to keep a closer eye on the snares, shorter time period."
