Snaring in Ireland

Hello world,
The BBC reports today a conflict between the League Against Cruel Sports and local gamekeepers. The league argues that snares are an inhumane way of controlling foxes, and wants the practice banned in the upcoming months, even though many vetrinarians argue that it is one of the kinder ways of catching these animals. According to the British Association for Shooting and Conservation the ban is unlikely to be passed, because of the snares role on protecting small game. Personally, I think that if they want to save their pheasents, they should just build fences.
