Another fox lamping tragedy?
What's going on? This is quite possibly the third such incident of a member of the public being shot during fox lamping in the last month. I raised some questions on this issue here suggesting that if nothing changes to prevent the public and shooters being in close quarters in these circumstances then this kind of thing will happen again.
If this is another accidental lamping accident then there is something obviously wrong with the system under which such vermin control takes place. Everyone needs to take responsibility for where and how they shoot but the recent run of incidents implies to me that the system could do with more safeguards to help combat human error.

There is some talk that the weapon was an airgun and the perpertrators were kids.Posted by John at September 24, 2004 11:18 AM | TrackBack
