Civil obedience
A retired police officer has admitted twice flouting the new hunting law by allowing his terrier dog to chase and kill a mouse and a mole.
………
He turned himself in to the police on both occasions to demonstrate that the 2004 Hunting Act was a “ridiculous law”.Under the legislation, moles and mice are classed as mammals that cannot be killed by dogs, although they can be shot by a competent huntsman.
Mr Morrison said he was not taken seriously when he reported himself, but was eventually cautioned. He was later told no further action would be taken
