Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I can't believe some of the views on here. This has nothing to do with whether you like Gypsies or not, or even your previous experiences with them. Two lads have got off with a charge that's got to be one of the most unjust laws this country has enforced on us, and all you can do is moan about it? Unbelievable! Can anyone really wonder why working with dogs is in the mess it is in today in our country, when we can't even applaud a couple of lads for beating this sh!tty law.

DogMagic 461 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Just being devils advocate, but..........why do you think hare coursing was included in the hunting act in the first place? Hare coursing was included in the ban because bLiar called "fox hunting" "hunting with hounds" and then exempted rabbits and rats. I have to say i agree with baw on this one. The fellas should get away with it and we should be cheering them on not slating them cos there travellers and were not! They were doing it not just for sport but to feed a family of 6 kids! The poor fuckers should get their hand shaken by every single one of us in my opinion. Edited to say theres travellers and theres travellers. Most are decent people, some are c**ts. Its exactly the same for the settled people although from experience i would say SOME are decent and MOST are c**ts! Lol! Edited April 25, 2011 by DogMagic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Beggars belief that anyone can be against them. Yes they were running hares mid summer but thats my only gripe with them. I say hats off to them for getting one right up the c**ts. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hare coursing was included in the ban because bLiar called "fox hunting" "hunting with hounds" and then exempted rabbits and rats. But why include hare and not rabbit? Doesn't really make sense to me either but my guess would be that hare coursing is seen more as a sport than lamping rabbits is. I have heard of people placing large bets on hare coursing but I haven't known that happen with rabbits. Of course one simple solution would be to lobby the scientific community in the UK to reclassify hares as a sub species of rabbit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foxgun Tom 75 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Please note any offence if commited would be under Scottish law and legal process not the UK's "Hunting Act" in my opinion no court or jury in Scotland would convict anyone of such a trivial offence especially if the end result is providing a family with food? there would be uproar and a public outcry from a large section of the Scottish public about cost and triviality?? most likely sentence if taken through a Scottish court would be an admonished or not proven?? I also could'nt see any political party here promoting/supporting a conviction while a general election is taking place here!! Remember! a defence in this incident is matters of ethnic origin and basic human rights, both the main political parties here have been up in arms about the human rights of high profile refugee's presently residing in Scotland!!, call me an old cynic but! there was never an appeal against hunting with dogs in Scotland with reference to it being an infringement of one of Scotlands own native ethnic minorities human rights. Can you imagine any Scottish government taking on that hot potatoe at the present time? (I don't think so!) Tom Edited April 25, 2011 by Foxgun Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do not know of anyone who's been charged under the UK Hunting Act in Scotland in relation to coursing its always done under our own statute!! its my right as a Scot to be tried in Scottish Courts under Scottish legislation for alledged crimes commited here that are devolved matters!! why do you think we have allways had our own legal system and and our own hunting legislation its a devolved issue!
