Given your previous form I'm surprised you aren't claiming to have done so already... and what rock did you crule from under you cock I didn't crawl from under any rock. Just trying to inject a little humour into your lusting after a South American midget of a music 'star' in a video from 10 years ago. Its a shame you can't see the funny side and reply with a little wit of your own.

You won't find any vets in the UK who will brand dogs at the moment as its illegal. I have spoken to my local vet and they are interested in finding out the answer. I think that I will put a poster up in my vets as soon I get the e-Petition link sorted. Vets aren't needed to brand horses and cattle, merely an 'appropriately trained person'.

Skycat I think it would be a great idea to write an article on it in the CMW. I will send you the link to the e-Petition once I get confirmation from the Home Office that it is live. The Hunting Act came about not because the antis are a large group. Nor do they represent the majority view. However, the know how to make a lot of noise. If we as a community can make hlaf as much noise then I think that we have a chance of changing the law.

As Gem says a mixture of numbers and letters would vastly increase the number of combinations available. 4 numbers would give a total of 10000 possible combinations. 3 letters and a number would give a total of 175760 possible combinations. Every additional letter would increase the total by a factor of 26. Every number would increase the total by a factor of 10. With a brindle dog the brand should show up fine. With a hairy dog the brand would be less distinct, but that could be overcome by regularly clipping the area of the brand. With a white dog the brand would show as bare skin

You can find your local MP here: http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/ Copy and paste the below and send it to them as an email or letter. Dear (insert MPs Title and Surname) I am concerned about the nubmer of dogs being stolen in the UK. I believe it is rising rapidly. Mircochipping and ear tattooing are excellent means of identifying dogs which are lost or stray. However, a member on a public who sees a dog walking down the street will not be able to tell if it is microchipped or has an ear tattoo. I think that the freeze marking of dogs (as is done to cattle and horses) would

More correspondence from the RSPCA. My response to their original email; Thank you for your reply. As I have said in my initial enquiry, microchipping is an excellent means of indentifying a dog to protect it against straying. However, it is not a protection against theft. My dogs are already mircochipped. But if they are stolen a member of the public seeing the dogs on the street would not be able to see that they are microchipped, nor that the microchip does not correspond to the person at the other end of the lead. What else can I do to protect my dogs against theft? I have stu

I want to legalise freeze branding of dogs in the UK. Please help by writing to your MP and signing my e-Petition.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I finally received my response from the BBC. It only took 3 emails and then a phone call. Here it is for any who are interested; Thank you for your email about the protected status of badgers and please accept our apologies that you have not received a reply sooner. We can find only one email of complaint and the editor assigned it is currently on leave, but on his return we will investigate why there has been a delay. As for your substantive point, we are satisfied that the paragraph in question is accurate. In the UK, badgers and their setts are p

Who said that? I can't find the post, Thanks. Bryan neil cooney, on 05 October 2011 - 04:37 PM, said: Like I said before if you can't take a fox out of a dig whilst he's looking straight at you (terrier took away) then you shouldn't even be out trying to work a terrier. Anyone can put a collar on a terrier. A 5 year old child could operate a locator. Most able men can use a shovel to some degree. It's knowing what to do at the end that takes a terrierman. If some one want's to work a strong dog at the end because he thinks that's a strongdogs job and it will better the breed t

He has only had the dog 3 f*****g weeks. Try training it before you take it hunting!

Slabs are a bad idea. No matter what you use to grout with the gaps between get full of piss and the whole place stinks. After 18 months or so there will be grass and weeds growing from the dirt trapped in the cracks.

Personally, I think it is f*****g fantastic! According to the paper two lads held him down and gutted him like a rabbit. If it happened to more filthy paedos maybe they would think twice before raping kids...

There was an incident recently when two fire engines and their complete crews were called to rescue a seagull stuck in an aerial. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2433501/Fire-brigade-sends-two-crews-and-seven-firemen-to-rescue-seagull.html Pleased our taxes are being spent wisely...

I was on my southern hunting estate last Wednesday. It was ok when I got there, but as soon as I turned the lamp on it was a total white out! Seemed to be very localised though. I got to one part and there was a clear field. Managed to get a decent dog fox, but he had strange scarring on the back of his neck. Shot 3 rabbits early the next morning. The fog seemed to distort the sound of the moderator, and they just stood there. All 3 down within 30secs.

If it is still wet I would get a float out and smooth off the finish. My kennels are on a concrete base with a tamped finish. Doesn't half make the shit stick! I left mine a week before putting the free standing run on it. Does look good though. Who have you got providing the kennel and run? Or are you building it yourself?

Was wasting my life on the internet this evening when I came across this story... http://www.rspca.org.uk/media/news/story/-/article/EM_Father_and_son_admit_training_dogs_for_organised_fights_Sep11 Clearly owning a breakstick, dog mill and bull breeds makes you a dog fighter. God help you if the break stick is actually used!

Thanks for all the sensible replies. I don't think it was a snare wound as the injury was only to the top of the neck. I'm leaning towards a fight with other foxes to be honest. I'm surprised that it survived without any secondary infection as it looked quite a serious injury, especially to suffer in the heat of the fly ridden summer in a location which couldn't be licked.
-
yeah agree but shame it got shot Not really. Killing foxes with lurchers is illegal in mainland UK. The field it was in borders a sheep farm and there are several people in the area with free range chickens. What would you rather I had done with it?

A days stalking? A trip to Europe to beat on a driven boar hunt? Try asking him...
-
Thanks for your suggestions. However, the muzzle was unmarked. I don't think he has been face to face with anything. Thats what made me think of a running dog. A killing strike to the back of the neck as the fox is running away. However, it must have been during the day time as there was no hint of lamp shyness.

Was out on my southern hunting estate on Wednesday night. Sqeaked in a fox from 100m to 30m and shot it. Not at all lamp shy. From its teeth I would say it was one of this year's cubs. Estimated weigh of 15lbs. Was in good condition. Plenty of fat on him when I skinned him. Shown with my CZ452 for scale. Barrel is 16inches. Fox had unusual scarring on the back of his neck. Looked like tearing on the left (from the fox's point of view) And a puncture on the right. My first thought was a bullet. But the lack of lamp shyness made me think that he had never been shot
