That makes so much sense - maybe it already happens some?

I guess there would be major issues with the gentry/shooting fraternity though - how would the carcases be disposed of?/accusations of hypocrisy etc

Your garden pond if I drop Great Crested Newts in it.

Foxes will take Adders too, my wife took these shots near our home in Russia.
