Born Hunter 17,787 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Boils my piss when people enforce their very offensive opinions of hunting on me, hardly ever happens but makes me want to slap seven bells out of them! But iv'e had the pro/anti hunting argument many times and i always leave them with nothing to say other than "well i think its cruel", no logical argument other than 'its cruel', fukin wake up, natures cruel, difference is we dont turn a blind eye to the reality of nature and accept it! f**k me i could go on all day, but ill calm down, lol.

Kay 3,709 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I must be honest i havent had any major problems with folks when i go out with the dogs , but the sight of a running dog in the village i live in a quite a rare sight, theres a couple of other folks that i have seen out with greyhounds and lurchers but not many & oddly enough i have never had my dogs with me when i have seen them . Most of the dogs i see are terriers or these yappy dishcloths on legs i hate them things & there shitty owners who over feeed them & pick them up when they see me or let them off the lead so i have to hang on the the dogs baying for blood but in general its not really bad here Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SportingShooter 0 Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Can't say it happens with the Dog, but when I have been out shooting before now, some very well to do Ramblers thought they would kindly come off the footpath they were on to confront me. Shouting the odds at me for shooting, I believe I had two Pigeons in my game bag at the time. I asked him to kindly stop shouting, he was now trespassing, if he continued to shout at me then aggrivated trespass to boot. Funny how reality of what he was doing, amazing how fast he went back to the footpath. I agree with Artic, smile, in the most pleasant way, say have a nice day, pleasure chatting, they walk away then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil r 1,861 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 only walk the dog very early and late on now because of the muppets near where i live . ive had the usual , do you use it for hunting , i think its wrong and cruel . ive also had , its illegal to hunt , and that dogs to thin . the best one i had was off a group of walkers on whalley nab , you know the type they are only on a gentle lowland footpath but they are kitted out like they are on an himalayen expidition , bright clothes rucksacks maps & compass round neck & 2 walking stick things . they bizzarely called me a badger digger . i pointed out i didnt have a spade or indeed a terrier only my 25inch lurcher and he might be a bit to big to go to ground , they walked away muttering they were going to ring the police , nobody turned up though so i dont think they did though .

JPTfellterrier 65 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) ive had people threatening to call the RSPCA coz my lurcher is to skinny, and also people acusing me of locking my dog in a small cage all day by antis on a dog forum and were going to ring the RSPCA (im still waiting for them to turn up as my dogs are spoilt), its like a terrier cage for the terrier to sleep in which i never shut and she chooses to sleep in there (this is a 24tt lurcher in a tiny cage by choice) backward some may say but i think its helerious....e few pics of this abused dog lol she looks very guilty in this picture Edited June 7, 2009 by JPTfellterrier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
