Not asking for any of it to go back into Hunting.

Just for them to lets us pay our licence along the same cost as a basic Rod licence.

In return letting us be self regulatary as before,

Ie Hunting with Hounds

Coursing Clubs

Every form of Hunting Reinstated so long as you have landowners permission and a licence

Legal Once More In All Its Glory.

that would be fine ,, but it will not happen ,whilst our strings are being pulled by the clowns in brussels . . bad days work ,when we joined the eu . we didnt just loose hunting we lost our identity as a nation!!!!

What feckin glory is there in that ?

FFS people are so cowed these days your begging and scraping for a god given right.

ITS GOT FECK ALL TO DO WITH THE GOVERNMENT !!

Trouble is if you are licensed, and yes it would be a step forward in the right direction perhaps, is that "Big Brother" would have all the addresses and details of all the "registered" hunting/coursing/digging/ whatevering people on record, f**k THAT.

It would be better than what we have and no different to a Fishing or shotgun licence.

 

You think so??, then it'll be, how many dogs do you keep, what breed, gender, purpose for keeping them, then you'll get the annual or twice yearly kennell visits (like the hunt kennels get now), any signs of work on them or, in their eyes, "cruelty", and you'll be hanging from the nearest yardarm mate.

 

Once you sign up to something like that you are accountable, and accountabillity for fishing, there's nothing to prove, you either catch and release or eat the fuckers, for what working dog men do you just as well find the nearest cliff and make like a Lemming does.

 

What we have now is far from perfect, a real f*****g mess, but in comparison with some f****r legally allowed onto your yard and checking all manner of things, vet visits, medication bought, used, when, whats that scar, cut etc etc, I'll take what we have now thanks, as has already been said, and lets be honest about this, realistic even, I think it highly unlikely that this ban will ever get reversed, as much as I would love it to be, its a major political issue now, and too many votes will be lost by too many parties it they were seen to back a return to hunting.

 

This is just my humble opinion for what its worth, said as I see it.

if there was a licencing system. and we was more accountable for our actions we would have to be above board and legal. and would have to be seen to be so. i would have no problem with that and would be happy to pay more than double what has been said. i wonder how many dogmen have been between the devil and the deep blue sea with an injured dog. will i or wont i go to a vet? with a clear licencing system it would be black or white. everyone would know where they stand. at the moment its just a feckin mess. even legally hunting fox can land you in a pickle. and the badger laws are a feckin joke. that interfere with legal hunting right accross the board. its time there was a move made for a licencing system. it would be good to get input from folk that are hunting in countries that have this

[danw 1,748]

Bollocks to a licence hunting is a right not a privilege.

just who would regulate the licence and what bunch of numpties would they get to write the rules, the ban should be repealed and we should return to the law as it was pre ban no compromise at all.

As another thought does anyone think a licence system would really stop the dickheads in the sport??

[KingKong 44]

hunting act will never be reversed but I will always hunt and I wont be paying for no licence either

[Bootsha 1,306]

When you buy a Fishing licence do they ask you what Rods you own ?

 

No, but fishing was never a banned pastime was it??, But if you own a firearm cert or shotgun cert they do, how much ammo bought, how much kept, how much used and do you honestly think that they'll just give you a licence and "there you go mate, just get on with it now", you must be f****n kidding, they'll have to have their pound of flesh mate, beleive you me, if it was to be licensed they'd make sure it was tighter than a camels arse in a sandstorm.

 

As has already been said, its your birth right to hunt, not some fuckers decision to make on your behalf. KEEP ON HUNTING, f**k THE BAN (and anyone else who tries to stop you)

[jf1970 328]

no, but there is a restriction on the amount of rods per license x4, who's to say they wouldn't do the same per dog. anyway iam with bootsha all the way on this one 100%.

[RossM 8,149]

Think the license thing would be a good idea, and also make it mandatory to declare and log what's accounted for, anyone caught hunting out with their license or without one at all could be fined, but then their would be so many loopholes and by laws to adhere to it's hard to see it being upheld, too many pro's and cons IMO, but still think something along these lines would be good,

[hullhunter 219]

just keep nice and sly and be ready to get on your toes. the worse part is coming home apart from that i dont even remember there is a ban when out.

at the end of the day it depends how much you love what you do. the ones that love it will do it no matter what and the ones that have given up then there heart was not in it in the first place.

hunting is what i do its what i love and i will not stop for NO man.

feck the ban and feck anyone who trys to stop me doing what i love.

[gonetoearth 5,144]

The ban was ill conceived , it took a draconian method to finally get it through wich it's self was not intended for this purpose ,the coward that is Blair and his cohorts owed depts this was the repayment , coursing paid the highest price as did the lurcher men , make no mistake it will take tenacity to overturn cuntry snide alie ence cannot be relied upon don't pin your hopes on them . The labour party attacked are culture and human rights never forget that the very same people who sent are forces to defend Iraq ,afghanistan human rights stole its own people's right to hunt with dogs . And do not think the torys are the saviours not all are pro as Churchill once said NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE IN
