Bryan 1,362 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 the Minister has stated that all forms of hunting and coursing will be exempted from the Animals wrlfare act. except Digging, which will be banned by the act. Quote "The measure applies only if there is undue cruelty such as the digging out of animals when they have gone to ground, which is unacceptable" th Anti's are asking people to email him to puh for a ban. http://www.banbloodsports.com/ln120529.htm Maybe people here could do the same to defend hunting with terriers? It's a freedom enjoyed through out Europe. Most animals are quickly bolted and shot. There is little risk of injured animals escaping. If Fox numbers are to be controlled, rather than just chasing foxes, then on occassion digging is the best option. Bryan 3 Quote Link to post

Bryan THE USE OF ONE TERRIER BELOW GROUND IS THE SAFEST....MOST HUMANE METHOD OF CONTROLLING FOX POPULATIONS.. IT IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN QUARRY CAN BE TAKEN QUICKLY, ALIVE TO HAND AND DISPATCHED QUICKLY.... OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO BANN IT THOUGH...IF WE ALL SIT BACK AND DONT INFORM THEM.... THE BENEFITS OF LEGAL AND PROPERLY CONDUCTED TERRIER WORK. 3 Quote Link to post

thedogman199 51 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 There are politicians who have nothing better to use the sportsman as a scapegoat to mask the fact that they can't control the laws already in place, I bet my weeks wage that these politicians have never seen the damage a fox can cause let alone witnessed terrier work!!!!!

Corkonian 44 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is real lads - we should know more by tonight with any luck. Get writing and phoning - the antis have already started - we're way behind as usual. I've been ringing around and a lot of people had no idea even about the rally in Silver Springs Cork tomorrow week. Do it quick - it would be easier for any u-turn to happen earlier rather than later. Don't think that this will only affect those that dig with the foxhounds or harriers - it'll only take one wrong person to see you with a terrier and shovel and your dogs, vehicle, equipment are gone - more than likely your freedom for a while too. 2 Quote Link to post

Bryan 1,362 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Mackel, they are bringing in an animal welfare act and hunting and coursing are excluded from it. But the Minister has decided to use it to ban digging with Terriers. Quote Link to post
