the law in northern ireland for working dogs(above and below)

[Mr pockets 20]

could someone clearly write up the up to date law of working dogs above and below ground in northern ireland terriers and lurchers? i have tried looking it up and cant really find a clear writen law on this so if someone would be good enough to help clearly state the law for northern ireland. thank you

[jessythewhippet 25]

Yeah would like to see the written law here myself

the same would be good for the law regarding terrierwork in the south

Fox hunting in Northern Ireland would have been banned had the Foster Bill become law. However, by the time of subsequent hunting legislation in the House of Commons, the Northern Ireland Assembly had been established and the hunting issue had been devolved to that body. A Hunting Bill was introduced into the Northern Ireland Assembly but rejected in December 2010.

the hunting bill was dejected.... but law here is very similar to england scot wales where the rspca and the uspca are concerned... so same rules apply here really...only 1 terrier used to ground at any 1 time....welll thats a must... only nets to be placed at holes .... lurchers aint allowed to kill in a stop end but are when they are on the run.. written permission at all times and the vehicle that your going out in must be taxed and insured lol ...other than that WORK AWAY ..atb

simple answers,

 

in north, fox fair game above and below, badger illegal

 

in south the same

 

uspca can take you to court but will never get a conviction, provided your not a proper retard

So basically you can dig it let it run then let the lurcher kill it. And does it have to be written permission?

doesn't have to be written, verbal permission's o.k

Thanks mate .

thanks lads for the info its just good to be abit clearer on the laws of working dogs as they seem to change to suit sometimes. i think the main thing they are looking is if a dog is showing signs of cruelty like one having a dog chewed up with no proper vet care.which to me is correct.doesnt have to be a vet but anyone who works dogs terriers and lurchers should know how to look after a dog that has just been worked or has an injury.

no need to tell them anything other than f**k off. they are not an guarda/police and you are not obliged to answer any of their questions
