As a combined investigation with the RSPCA special operation unit,officers executed warrants under the Wildlife and Countryside Act and Animal Welfare Act at numerouse properties in Tynedale. A number of items were seized which were connected with Badger Baiting. PC Andy Swinburne,said: Wildlife crime will not be tolerated and anyone seeing such activities should report it immediately. The investigation is ongoing and they are looking for the owner of a black terrier-like-dog answering to the name brock,anyone with any information on the owner should contact us immediately. Three men arrested aged between 21-34. What does everyone make of this!!! It beat everything to the front page so it cannot be missed and where all sure to be tarnished if seen with a terrier or a lurcher as they dont even know the difference between a terrier and a lurcher by the sounds of it!

I think its shocking we are all made to look bad when theres only a handful that are! deffinately worth posting about. But i dont think it would have mattered weather they were badger baiters, badger diggers or just average terriermen who abide fully by the law. In the publics eye all terriermen are just a bunch of 'badger baiters', alot of fellow fieldsportsmen even snarl and talk badly of terriermen! Badger digging, baiting, fox work, whats the difference????? We all know theres a hell of a difference but to the public we are all a bunch of baiters! Quote Link to post

I think its shocking we are all made to look bad when theres only a handful that are! i know what your saying pal, iv heard people more than once mumble under there breath when they see me out with the dogs "hes been badger baiting" or hes one of them "badger baiters" the public's lack of knowledge shocks me at some point every day. It looks like the antis have done there job in filling people with crap but hunting representatives Inc the CA hasn't done half as much to educate the public with the truth. nearly everyone has heard some horror storey about hunting but know nothing of the truth.

Guest Defender Poacher Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 About 15 year ago I browsed a stall that an anti had set up in the middle of a busy shopping centre, was well shocked at the lies I read in there posters and leaflets. The propaganda and misconception they push has been brain washing joe public for over two decades while fieldsports people have fought amongst themselfs and done very little untill it was to late, what else are we to expect these days?
