inan 841 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) DID ANYONE SEE THE BBC NEWS,I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE ON HERE FEEL ABOUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THE ABUSE TO FARMERS ETC Well gangs of blokes either driving, or walking across land they have no permission on aren't doing anyone any favours imo. The media will obviously concentrate on these people, and emphasise the more lurid stories,,ie damage to crops abuse to farmers, stolen farm equipment etc.In no way am I suggesting that all, or even most lads do this , but there is a small minority that have made it bad news for the rest of dog men imo. I mentioned this many months ago and was told it was the legal coursing men that got the game a bad name, make your own mind up about that. I was talking to two local lads the other day ,they were saying they could not wait to get out on "big land", I told them about the on going operation , and warned them about the helicopter surveillance,and before anyone starts shouting about how the tax payers resources should be better employed, I TOTALLY AGREE, but the facts of life are that it is easier to collar a couple of blokes out in the middle of a fen ,than a burglar ,mugger ,or paedophile.The cost of a bloody helicopter and a police team ,must be pretty horrendous,but the police involved in these operations "justify " it by saying illegal coursers are often also thieves ect.We know this is largely untrue but it is a handy excuse for the expenditure of such huge funds.Some one has a political agenda at work here, imo. If I lived in Lincs ,or Cambridge I think I would want to know why mine and every body else's taxes was not spent more profitably on crime prevention,and detection, that affected the every day citizen.

YOU WOULD NOT SAY THAT IF YOU WAS A FARMER TO SCARED TO GO OUT AT NIGHT ON HIS OWN LAND If you read some of my earlier posts on this subject ,I think you would know how I feel about farmers being intimidated ,I lost 500 acres because of some clever boys ,and a club I was in got the bar up because some more clever lads rammed the land owners Subaru with a transit and put him in hospital, the club lost 800 acres of running ground in Suffolk. I DON'T POACH ,AND THOSE WHO DO ARE NOT HELPING THE REST OF US. Quote Link to post

hungry bollucks 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 its not fair on the farmers but who would confront a gang of hare coursing lads is it worth the hastle of threats and violence at the end of the days your family comes first hares second Quote Link to post
UNFIT 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) its just shows how much of a joke it is ,read the first part of the report ,it states that the law was changed to protect the brown hair , then listen to the farmer in the second vid say ,that the farmers are responsible for killing the hares because of the way farming is practiced at this time ,if they cared that much about the hare they would have changed the way farming is carried out at the same time they brought in the ban , and got it right by now .so in the farmers own words they are the ones responsable for the hares decline ,are they being done for it ,are they hell .
