Raging!!!!!!!
 

I'm going to have a serious rant here folks so bear with me. please NO sarcastic comments!!

I am not in a good mood today and being miles from home when a problem occurs is not helping. I am 360 miles away from home working away for a couple of months and get home every other weekend.

About a week before i left my rabbit had some babies, 7 in total. It was planned as I put my girl with my neighbours boy and 4 weeks later the babies arrived. I have people that I have agreed can have a baby bunny when they are ready to be re-homed (Fenjer yours is safe). The owner of the boy bunny was going to have one to keep theirs company and as a thank you for their boys "donation". One of the conditions for rehoming is that if the new owner decides that they no longer want the rabbit no matter how long after having it, then to return it to us and not just get rid by themselves.

However the owner of the donor rabbit has decided that they want to give the one they were having to someone else. The problem is the person they want to give it to is not a responsible pet owner, or parent as far as i am concerned. They have had numerous dogs over the past few years just to breed and make money. Also one of the dogs has recently been taken off them as it kept attacking other dogs and had killed their previous rabbit.

My wife has told the owner of the daddy rabbit that no way does she want this other person having the baby as she is not a responsible pet owner. The replies my wife has had have been what can only be described as threatening!! :smt013

The daddy owner has said that there was a verbal agreement for her to have a baby which there was, but she is saying that she can do what she wants with HER baby and she WILL be TAKING one no matter what.:smt013

With me being so far away I am absolutely furious with this person and her threats to take one is just peeing me off more. She has a spare key for our house and has now said that we are not getting our key back until she has her rabbit :smt013:smt013:smt013:smt013

I am worried that my wife is going to get ill with all the hassle as she is not in good health anyway.

and breathe..........ok rant over

And to think there are people out there with no arms and legs, dying of hunger, being blown to bits in wars and being consumed by disease. :rolleyes:

Its a rabbit. Tell the neighbour to stuff it. If she comes in your house its tresspass.

done.

Next...

Lock barrels are cheap :)

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Two smoking barrels can be terminal

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

agreed

£10 from B&Q if its a UPVC door...this would be my solution, any attempt to enter the house is trespass and reasonable force can be used..

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

wot he said

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

No law of Tresspass in Scotland ladies & gentlemen, but agreed - no bunny for an idiot and if that's what they're like, definately no key!

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

So the daddy owner is quite happy for her baby rabbit to become dog food?

Sod changing the locks, by the sounds of it you should move. They sound to be some complete retards in your current area.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Or people food, time for BBQ :mrgreen:

OTOH, I'll take a couple :-P

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

im sure your wife will cope with it all very well. If neighbour comes into the house set the kids on her or hit her over the head with something - just once (reasonable force). your wife is on her own and thought someone was breaking in - she will get away with it. dont give the rabbit to them.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

So someone comes into your house "uninvited" whats the law in Scotland called then? I can't see it being legal if I wanter in off the street and sit on someone's sofa for a week. They'd call the police.

and I'd be arrested for?...

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

been sat in thier comfy place, bloody annoying when guests (invited or not) do that.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

It is only a rabbit, what's the issue. Who cares!

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

where you live is MOD property so the other party must be part of the RAF. phone up your squad sgt and tell them the score.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

they wouldn't be interested Bibio. It's hard enough trying to get someone to do something about the youths hanging about causing damage nearby.

I can see me getting back from my detachment to find that we have 6 bunnies altogether as Mrs A won't let them go unless it's to a good home.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

I find having a cigarette calms me down. Sorry Rick, bad joke.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Get your wife to go to the local game dealer or butcher, buy a stewing rabbit and put it in the pot Fatal Attraction style and leave on your neighbour's doorstep with a note saying 'Here's your rabbit'. Then take all your live bunnies to a safe place where they live happily ever after.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

whose rabits are they ?
your, then keep them, end of.
mind you just say they got out and ran away..........
you got a new batch via DHL etc...

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

You're a bad man. :smt045

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Its not just a rabbit imo, its the fecking principle.
Giving a defenceless animal to a family of window lickers who have no idea how to wipe their noses let alone look after a 'pet' is wrong and your right to be angry.
And using threatening behaviour with your missus is also wrong, when you go home next i think you need to explain the errors of their ways.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Why did you give your mad neighbours your house key.... I can understand giving a key to a normal neighbour that you have got on with very very well for years. Surely if they have acted like this over a rabbit then they have acted up before?!

I'd change the lock to eradicate the possibility of 'we have spares'. If one rabit happens to die, throw it over the fence. Job Done, they got their rabbits. If they all live.... make a pie.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

sounds like more hassle than its worth, its a rabbit just give it them and get your key back.
I think I would rather have my door key back from the stupid neighbour than get worked up and frustrated about 1 rabbit which your not even attached to.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Change the locks anyway. They sound like wrong 'uns. Wouldn't surprise me with all this trouble that they would copy your key!!!

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

there is a trespass law of sorts in scotland but it does not include 'trespassing on ones property' as in english law.

It is a perpetual myth that there are no trespass laws in Scotland. Even before the recent Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, trespass has long been a delict (civil wrong) which is remediable by the remedies of interdict and damages. However, The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 amends the Trespass (Scotland) Act 1865 and establishes a statutory right of access.

Certain types of trespass have been criminal since the Trespass (Scotland) Act 1865 was passed, an Act no-one has ever heard of. Section 3 makes it an offence for any person to lodge in any premises, or occupy or encamp on any land, being private property, without the consent of the owner or legal occupier. Admittedly this section envisages a degree of permanency which will not be present in every situation of trespass.


above taken from: http://www.siliconglen.com/Scotland/1_8.html

but there is a couple of laws that are for this purpose in scotland some of which are 'breaking and entering' and 'unlawful entry'. there is also a law which entitles the parent to 'protect children' in case of aggravated entry.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Possibly nothing if they had a key given to them by the owner and there was no intent to steal......[/devils advocate]


WRONG!

No such thing as breaking and entering in Scotland. There is Theft by Housebreaking or Housebreaking with Intent to steal or Attemted Housebreaking with iIntent to steal, which are common law crimes and using a true key would NOT be constituted as housebreaking. As for the "unlawful entry" that doesn't exist either and can I have a link to the law for parents protecting children please? Or at least an Act and section???

My advice in this is that as you are on MOD property, you notify your Sgt of the situation. I take it that it would be the MP's that police this? If so, can your wife make a report to the MP's as threatening behaviour such as this can constitute a breach of the peace. I would also contact a solicitor and ask them to write a letter demanding the return of the key.

I know that it's the principle of it, but I would advise you get your wife to contact a locksmith and change locks. Then if they do gain entry to the property, it is most definately a crime.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

You don't need a locksmith, just a screwdriver. Is cheaper :)

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

If the rabbit is yours and they come into your house(even with a key)and take your rabbit,I bet that is theft,Scotland or not.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

ok you know the law.. so i'll shut the furk up.

as to the children thing. a judge sent someone down for 6 months after coming to my door and assaulting me with a knife so i kicked the shiz out of him as my kids were there and i feared for their life. it got to court and my brief spouted some 'in the case of so and so' and the judge sent the azzhole down.

your right about housebreaking so i'll suz me gob and go back to sleep.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Erm, no, not now it has been posted on an open forum that there was a verbal agreement. That makes it a civil matter meaning it would have to be taken through a civil court, using solicitors.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

What's the market value of a rabbit? FFS....

I'm going more towards eat it.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

Yeh, that's not an actual law, that's a good solicitor backing up your case using previous cases to prove that in protecting yourself and your family you used reasonable force, it is not an actual law if you know what I mean?

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

But which rabbit?They cant just waltz into your house and take what they want can they?Without first getting a court order to enable them to sieze the goods legally?In England I know of a case where a couple split up and the man went to the house and "stole" his own property which was there.And he got done for it.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

anyway, i like the rabbit stew idea. i can go up on saturday and do the stew if you like.

dont worry about it mate it will all blow over. its wimin getting all broody over little bunny wabits and letting their hormones run riot. have you ever seen what they are like at summers party's or hen nights when there is a male stripper. that says it all.

Re: Raging!!!!!!!
 

I wish to register a complaint
