poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Do you not think that in the eyes of the law we as owners of running dogs with the ability to catch wild game have as much resposability as a bull terrier owners to keep there dogs under control to prevent accidents!!! But that would mean walking about with your lurcher on a slip every were and how meny times has something else flushed [bANNED TEXT] the dogs on its way back with a rabbit. Quote Link to post

Catcher 1 639 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 The Act makes it an offence for a person to hunt a wild mammal with a dog unless the hunting is exempt. For the purposes of the Act, the word ‘hunting’ has its ordinary English meaning, which includes searching for wild mammals, chasing them, or pursuing them for the purpose of catching or killing them. The Act makes clear that a person is hunting a wild mammal with a dog if he engages alone or participates with others in the pursuit of a wild mammal and a dog is employed in that pursuit, whether or not under his direct control. As hunting requires the intention to search for, chase or pursue the quarry, it is not possible to hunt by accident. Quote Link to post

To me that means, if something gets up in front of exersising dogs, accidentally, then it's not hunting,so you are not contravening the act.Thats obviously why so many hunts get off. Intention is not easy to prove. Quote Link to post
