    We've gotten provisional permission from the Admins to allow the sale of live animals in the Shooting For Sale/Wanted forum.

    Here's the new part-
    Shooting For Sale/Wanted Charter wrote:
    PROVISIONAL NEW SECTION (added 8/9/2008)
    - TO BE AMENDED/MODIFIED/REMOVED AS TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE
    5. Live Animals
    Within the norms of Shooting/Hunting as practised in Ireland, live animals may be offered for sale.
    Specifically prohibited are trapped/captured wildlife, animals related to mounted Fox Hunting, Coursing, and animals for use as bait or decoys.
    All the normal rules regarding legality and commercial selling strictly apply.

    This is something of a BIG DEAL, as it's the first time that we know of that the offer for sale of living creatures has been officially sanctioned anywhere within the entire Boards.ie/Adverts.ie hierarchy, and as such, this will be under some scrutiny from outside the Shooting forums.
    With this in mind, we don't want to go shi**ing on our own doorstep.

    This is intended to facilitate genuine enthusiasts in finding suitable homes for their working gundogs or ferrets.
    Commercial sales will be regarded in the same way as any other attempted commercial sale, and the moderators reserve the right to question the bona fides of sellers/sales which appear suspicious.

    For the moment and until we get definitive advice on legality, the sale or trade of wildlife remains prohibited, as does the sale or trade of animals for use as bait or decoys. This includes the 'donation' of wildlife for the purposes of repopulation.
    Pets, horses, dogs for coursing, and anything else that doesn't fall under the umbrella of Shooting Hunting as it is understood and practised in Ireland, are also prohibited.

    This is a work in progress and will not doubt require some fine tuning and tweaking, so please threat this new facility with the respect it deserves and give it a chance to settle down and develop.

    The new section has been tweaked a bit-
    PROVISIONAL NEW SECTION (added 8/9/2008)
    - TO BE AMENDED/MODIFIED/REMOVED AS TIME AND CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE
    5. Live Animals
    Within the norms of Shooting/Hunting as practised in Ireland, live animals may be offered for sale.
    For the moment, this is restricted to gundogs and ferrets; if you wish to trade in any other type of animal, contact the forum mods by PM before posting anything.
    Specifically prohibited are wild animals, animals related to Fox Hunting (mounted) & Coursing, and animals for use as bait or decoys.
    Pets and other domestic/domesticated livestock (horses, cattle, etc) are also prohibited.
    All the normal rules regarding legality and commercial selling strictly apply.
