strange situation

[lilpip1234 62]

was talking to a mate of mine and he mentioned a time when he was ferreting a few years back and the dogs marked a bury they got regular rabbits from so they dropped a ferret in a couple of minutes later out popped mr fox and the lurchers done it in i was just wondering what would the law could do in that situation?

Unless the law was there I would persume there is very little they could do atb richard

 

ps, however if they did catch you in the act, accident or not Im 100% sure you would be treat far worse than someone selling smack!

I reckon you'd be dragged into court and fined, if only to top up the countries coffers, you gotta remember they love our hard earned cash which ever way they get it!

In this case not totally sue tbh but my there was an incident in my back green i live in a block of flats where the dogs nailed a fox and the police where called and i was asked a few questions like did i try to call the dogs of to which i replied of course and what efforts did i make to stopmy dogs i told them i was shouting and telling them to leave itbut i wasnt putting my hands in cos i like them too much.I was then told i couldnt be charged and not to let my dogs do in foxes cos its illegal etc but apprently if you call your dog off and it doesnt respond your not likely to be charged

Hi mate i think you could beat this in a Scottish court.As it must come down to intent Some thing similar Happened to my mate,s a few year,s ago.Only it was a hare.They were on the land lawfully.But for some reason the police appeared (Some fool passing by had phoned them) Ferrit was in the hole. Any way as they were explaining to the police the were only hunting rabbit,s a big hare broke by the net,s.Then one of the younger lad,s slipped a dog on it.One of the police knew about hunting.so they let it go as they could not prove intent.The young lad got an earful after the police had left.atb.Catcher 1

I dare say you could get away with this once or twice but i reckon a third time youd be dragged over the coals.I dont know in all honesty if its set in stone but i dare say it depends who you get wether or not the coppers are sensible or not one of the 2 i spoke to that night had lurchers and terriers so that might be why.If you get an anti your fecked i would think.

The first line in the Protection of Wild Mammals act Scotland. Says A person must not deliberately hunt a wild mammal with a dog. In Scotland if you were ferreting and a fox

bolted in those cicumstances you would beat it in court with any competant lawyer but it may actually end up in court as the police are very badly advised by their

partners in crime the SS pca.
