**UPDATE** Unsurprisingly this poor creature didn't survive. Whether she bled out (the trap would have acted like a tourniquet) or a build up of toxins was released when she was removed and gave her organ failure or she went into shock, she died though she was still fighting for life. These traps are supposed to be 'humane'. Where can you find them out in the country? Almost all shooting estates, around pheasant pens, near land where the owners just dont like sharing with other species… we'll post more info on Fenn traps and others soon, so please watch this space and share the info! We're out sett surveying, and finding stuff like this, almost daily in the run up to this year's culls – support us if you can**PayPal.me/threecountiessabshttp://www.williampowell.com/blog/rural/5756/Sabs have just found this poor creature on a shooting estate in the Cotswolds. She was cut free and is still alive and being kept warm en route to a wildlife hospital. Fenn traps are legal and any animal caught in one faces a cruel and torturous death. All so that someone with more money than sense can blast at birds. We will keep you updated…
