Gin 498 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 It did prove that the ban was just a vindictive act. ( Class war as Labour see's it ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great White Hunter 78 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Any body know if it will be repeated on sky digital BBC 3 or BBC4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouse 282 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 sure it will be on again.that is the second time it has been shown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bullmastiff 615 Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yeh i enjoyed it,not sure about showing the terrier's ragging the carcass though.Think it would of been better to leave the filming after he despatched the fox with the pistol.jmo,entertaining and educational programe though. I think that it will be an eye opener for the general public that have only seen leaflets from leading charities saying 'a fox suffers for minutes whilst being ripped limb from limb by a pack of hounds' whilst showing a pic of the hounds with a fox . I say good on BBC 4 for showing the public an alternative to LACS usual Bulls*t!! :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
