All land law is effectively by possession anyway.

However, owning a freehold is the highest form of possession you can have.

To all practical intents and purposes such possession has bee ownership
since the enclosure act of 1831.

I would not like it if someone drove out a nd let loose a load of mice on
my freehold, and should I find them doing it I would be able , using my
freehold/possession of said land ( with or without title deed
registration)
bring a prosecution of same under the law. In the latter case of
possession
without title I may need to establish my ownership under the current land
laws of 1881 and 2002 ( concerning possessory title) but that would not
prevent me pursuing the case in practical terms under the rodent acts.

Cor!

Sounds as though you know something about the matter :-)

In fact anyone can do so, as the offense is letting the vermin loose , it
does not require that the person reporting it own the land on which they
are
let loose, just that said land is possession of some person

That's interesting.

More than that, from an animal behaviourist point of view, I doubt the
mice
will like it. Mice tend to stick to known and travelled routes within
their
own territories, to move them any distance is itself inhumane since it
leaves them off their tracks and subject to all sorts of predation.
Much better to kill them quickly than catch them and make them die a slow
and stressed death by using so called "humane traps"


I couldn't agree more.
