reddawn 2,173 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 its a way of life, not a sport, but if ye were to change it from sport you would then divide it into smaller groups, course fishing an grouse/phessie shoots are hardly pest control are they?

When the ban was looming we heard it all too often how fox hunts are needed for fox control blah blah and then it was blown out of the water when revealed how much effort goes into supporting a large fox population. The argument was flawed and the public saw that. We need to be absolutely honest about what we do, not hide the shadey stuff and try to pretend we hunt out of the kindness of our hearts for the farmers. JMO 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JMO well said mate no matter what you do they gonna carry on with ther sly tricks They will mate. We look silly when we are blatantly bullshitting with a desperate argument, the public see we are trying to hide the fact we enjoy our hunting and then logically jump on side with the antis because if you hide something it is obviously bad. That simple action helps reinforce the message the hairy, stinking, terrorist, anti, wankers spout. 'We' need to just be straight with everyone and not hide our love of hunting like a dirty big secret. Edited August 21, 2012 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 So many are ashamed to say they enjoying hunting and killing I am not but the aim is to do it quickly and be humane and allow the animals to have a quick death and for it to be eaten where possable .

PeakOil 352 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 This thread reminded me of a 'woman' that works for the ARSEPCA. It appears the 'charity' has had all mention of her and images of her removed from Google. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Leveller Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Brian May, Paul McCartney etc have spent their lives jetsetting and living the high life flying around the world in extravagance and indulging themselves I bet the pair of them and their bands have enough of a carbon footprint to be responsible for 50% of the polar ice cap melt which is seeing endandgered animals like polar bear numbers decline, but don't anybody dare touch a disease riddled Badger or a Fox (animals which are in prolific numbers and most definetly not in any danger of extinction). McCartney is famous for stating that films like Bambi and Dumbo are the reasons he got into animal rights, these are fictional cartoons where the anthropomorphization of animals are used to tug at your heart strings and lead the naive astray, the things that shape our views and beliefs should be facts and evidence not what the media thrusts down our throats. I grew up stomping around school discos shouting along to songs "C'mon C'mon" "Hello hello it's good to be back"and "Do you wanna be in my gang" but luckily I don't think it's ok to have sex with minors!
