1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I have no idea what the laws are in GB as I am an American, however, in my area one can get depredation permits through the fish and game management if a bird or animal is problematic or killing ones animals or crops. Crows are a problem in the California fruit and nut industry as well as in many vineyards and it is legal for farmers to kill them. I personally like crows. lol I live in the mountains where there are lots of coyotes and it is also okay to shoot them with the proper permits. I have issues with deer on my mountain and all my gardening has to be behind fencing. I’d look into putting out scarecrows or other deterrents first, like shiny ribbons and such or netting which the vineyards ranchers use here. I think killing anything should be a last resort under only the most extreme circomstances. Maybe try some lightweight netting over your peas & beans and other things such as big rubber snakes placed around the garden. Good luck!
