Bring back Huntig with dogs,Repeal the hunting act

[jambay5 191]

its not up to DC to bring back hunting it all depends on how all the mp's vote..

labour will not allow it they can't even decide who's going to lead them.

all we can do is hope and with the cuts we have to have due to the way labour our country in it will mean less police out and about..what i am worried about is why are they tring to get new laws in regarding dog ownership..not the con's but the lib dems and labour now that is going to hurt us...

utter shite

there will never be a repeal of the hunting ban,there may be a licenced form of hunting for the organised hunts and if we're lucky 1 terriermen per hunt licenced to dig,this is only my opinion but I do follow politics a fair bit and when it comes down to it politician's will not put their necks on the line for a minority sport that could lose them votes in an election,the majority vote will alway's be against us now,what we " must" take great care in is not saying that the present law is unenforcible,this will only bring about more legislation, thereby closing any loopholes that allow us to carry on hunting at present,take great care whilst out and try not to bring our way of life to an end by posting bloody pics and daft posts on what you've been doing on an open forum full of guests and anti's,as things stand we can still work our dogs on some legal quarry but make too much noise about hunting and all pest control will be limited by licences of some sort,this is my honest opinion and probably not what most will want to hear,atb,wirralman

 

I think the main thing the Tree huggers don't like is when a fox gets run all day then dug up!

So i think they will make a rule that no digging n hunting on the same day. witch is fair if you ask me.

witch is fair if you ask me????????? surely if you ask the farmer or gamekeeper if its fair you wont last very long doing there pest control as that what fox hunting is about, PEST CONTROL not about being fair to the poor old fox. yis wurzil.

Know i mean the Rule, i think they'll bring in Ie running n digging same day rule..

 

So if you run a hare/deer and it gets away its all bad?

This petition is now closed, as its deadline has passed.

 

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Repeal the Hunting Act 2004. More details

 

Submitted by Miss Andrea Keyte Deadline to sign up by: 06 June 2010 Signatures: 4,710

More details from petition creator

 

We believe that the Hunting Act 2004 is an unworkable and an unenforceable law. We believe that since the act came into force the welfare of our wildlife has decreased and that inhumane alternatives are being used to control pests. We also believe that the act was passed as a part of a so called 'class war' and had nothing to do with the welfare of animals. There was little or no consideration given to the people involved or employed in the Hunting world.

Government response

 

The Hunting Act was passed by Parliament in 2004. It has not been a demonstrable success, and is difficult to enforce. It is an unnecessary drain on police resources and there have been few prosecutions. Only three hunts have been successfully prosecuted for illegal hunting.

 

That is why the Government wishes to give Parliament the opportunity to review the Hunting Act and, if it wishes, repeal this legislation. We will put forward a motion before the House of Commons on whether the Hunting Act should be repealed and, if the motion is carried, we will bring forward legislation in due course.

 

 

At the min theirs 290 MP's who dont want Hunting Repealed But theirs 300 who do want it repealed

But with the new lord fighting in our corner that 290 is hoped to go down with the new rules reg body being set up!

the new lord aint fighting in our corner at all, he's fighting in the reg hunts corner witch means the average terrier lad and coursing lad can is gonna get shit on, wurzil

 

 

And from a great height.Coursing as we knew it is a thing of the passed.
