answer text <p> </p><p>The Government is not undertaking any nationwide action to control mink. However, landowners are free to control mink on their land as long as they do so humanely and within the law. Advice on controlling mink can be obtained from Natural England. As a non-native species, it is an offence to release mink into the wild and I would encourage landowners to control them wherever practical.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency is not directly involved in any mink control programmes in England. It does, however, contribute a small amount of annual funding to the Wildlife Trusts and some other local organisations towards the cost of local water vole conservation projects. Some of these projects may involve an element of mink control. The Environment Agency is one of a number of contributors to these projects.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>Defra is not taking action to catch or control magpies or hooded crows.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Like all wild birds in Great Britain, magpies and hooded crows are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Within England, general licences are issued by Natural England permitting users to kill or take magpies for a range of purposes, such as the protection of public health and safety. These may be relied upon by landowners and other authorised persons as long as they are satisfied they have met the conditions of the licence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In the UK, the hooded crow is found primarily in Scotland and Northern Ireland and is not normally resident in England. As nature conservation is a devolved matter, the Department of the Environment Northern Ireland and the Scottish Government should be approached regarding their wildlife legislation and policy for the control of magpies and hooded crows.</p><p> </p> more like this
