However, I refer to what I mentioned earlier about the merits of possible recapture as opposed to culling. I think the expense question is not without relevance here because the bullet is often seen as cheaper in man-power than the trap. I tend to think that Roy Dennis was not accurately portrayed in the Natural World programme BTW but I guess he is stuck with the impression now.It amazes me that DEFRA were supposed to have tightened up the regulations on introduced species in March 2005 yet we are still debating various merits more than three years later. In other words, absolutely nothing has been done.</blockquote>
