Fat-Ferret 857 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 In my opinion, ferreters dont sell live rabbits...But live rabbit sellers will use ferrets to get the rabbits they need to sell - There not ferreters...there a nuisance. They clean out each and every area they find, ferret all year round and leave nothing for nobody & never have permission... But - When they get £7 / £8 for a live rabbit...I can, to a point see why they do it, I know of people that have made close to £1000 in a good week from live rabbits...But It is the greyhound trainers keeping them in business, I get asked time and time again for live rabbits...But I believe that anything that is hunted deserves not only respect, but to be humanely and quickly dispatched... The problem now in my area is, if you seek permission for ferreting, people automatically assume you are taking live rabbits and sometimes refuse...A poor reputation is being made for the ferreter with the help of live rabbit sellers aided by greyhound trainers 1 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Your mate sounds like a f*cking moron. 'I get the money, thats all i care about' - says it all. He shouldn't even be allowed to keep ferrets, f*cking prick. I hope he reads all these posts. Jai. Quote Link to post

whin 463 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 you could just let him see a wild rabbit leashed ,then give him a dead one to play and chuck about same thing , it is cruel but if nessasary to make a good dog better then well you have to think were your priorities lie ,if it was going to make the dog better then forget about the cruelty aspect beacause , to me all forms of sport have pain togain sucsess no mater what , so if it works and there not doing it publicly , not my problem Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 It was a common practise odd years ago to supply live rabbits for the best of 20 rabbit races in these parts before whippet raceing took off all mostly longnetted. Quote Link to post
whin 463 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 a fiver a rabbit as long as the dog eats it must be the way forward poacher , for a dog that needs jeed up to become a winner , or you could always tie a skin to an antis ass and let the dog chew on it lol, i dont no the rabbit greyhound scenario if it works but surly some dogs get pissed of with the toy rabbit ,after a season or two , so afresh bit of meat must help at times to give him a yard , don tno not aproffesional greyhound man , Quote Link to post
