Yes, this isn't 50's america with locking fridges.

I am slightly curious as to what dead animals in the garden the OP feels are the council's responsibility, and which are his. Can you give us the point on the scale on which you would assume responsibility for disposal and not phone anyone?

1. Dead tiger
2. Dead horse
3. Dead sheep
4. Dead dog
5. Dead cat
6. Dead hedgehog
7. Dead rat
8. Dead crow
8. Dead frog
9. Dead mouse
10. Dead ant


I am open for discussion on the order in the scale, there.

Got some rat poison today. Didn't cost me a penny as I used my LTS voucher.

Watching a tremendous thunder & lightning show at the moment.

Birds were constantly rustling in the trees above me but no rats. Until I looked up. A rat was peering down at me from up the tree. They were climbing from the fence onto the two apple trees and gnawing on the fruit. I was so surprised I didn't even raise the gun.

If the rats grew wings it would be as terrifying as when the Daleks first EL-E-VATE-d.

Although of course some would argue pigeons are already rats with wings.

Just call an American dentist. They kill and collect.

Obviously the :money: answer is put them all in the freezer and sell them to a taxidermist. Apart from no. 3 which will yield a nice rug and kebabs if well treated.

A few years ago, I was walking past a factory which has stood empty for 20 plus years. A bit of masonry fell from the building, almost hitting me. I rang the council as probably know who owns the factory. They couldn't care less.

Yet two weeks ago, a much smaller building, about a 1/20 of building above was demolished as a member of the public reported a part of the building crumbled away was demolished within 48 hours. It was empty about the same amount of time as the factory.

Dustmen picked it up today. Next time I will fly tip it into the the nearest main road.
