What does it mean, "distrain on wild animals"?
I'm learning a lot about renewable energies. I've learnt that you get so many bonusses by the goverment for trying that your company doesn't even need to be efficient or give any benefits to make money.

Walking in Madrid in winter, I was told by a guy that I hadn't met before: "I didn't know roses could grow in the snow"

Not a compliment said to me directly, but my friend told me a week ago that, during our wedding, when Mark was pretty wasted, he went to talk with her and said that I was the best thing that had ever happened to him. Makes my heart warm when I think of it.

Removal of goods due to debts

So
they can take wild animals from you but no pets. Well, if they take them from you that means they are yours, which means they're not wild anymore...

For distraint outside of personal stuff such as the shirt on your back and shite like cutlery it's all up for grabs for your debtors
So you're allowed to carry on 'living' you won't be stripped bare and thrown into the street, but if you're a farmer then all your 'stock' ie cattle sheep etc can be removed and sold to pay for your debts.

basically if the bailiffs come round
don't let them in. they can't force their way in without a court order.

however, if you let them in once, they can keep coming back.
