“Bang Bang!!”

Posted by Eric at 3:15 pm. Filed under: General

Now I’ve seen it all. From the Times Onlinae - Britain:

The Government has ruled that it is now illegal to shoot a crow, rook or pigeon for the pot without scaring it first. The legislation says shooters must attempt to frighten off the birds before pulling the trigger.

Only when the birds fail to respond can he or she shoot it for dinner. The same rule applies to farmers who have shooting days blasting woodpigeons and rooks to protect their crops or gamebirds.

At this time of the year thousands of people pull on their camouflages for a day’s rough shooting. They are now acting unlawfully. They too must first engage in frightening techniques to disperse the birds. Only if their antics are ignored can they shoot legally. Failure to comply can result in a fine of up to £5,000 or a maximum six months in prison.

  1. Didn’t I see this on South Park? Yeah… it was the episode when Jimbo and Ned took the boys on a hunting trip up the mountain. As long as you shout “IT’S COMING RIGHT FOR US” it’s ok to blast away…. And maybe the British have a version of Scuzzlebutt too. Jimbo
