baldockbanks courser 598 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) Why didn't they make a feature of our case, We were represented by the same legal people as the men found guilty on similar charges (badgers act) but found not guilty after that case. Where's the other side of the argument? the vast sum of money spent trying to prosecute 6 Lurcher/ terrier men found to be digging fox? I would have done an interview if asked. Showing men with working dogs in a field CAN HAVE legitimate reason to be there !!!!!!!! Now that's not good television is it ? Edited January 16, 2013 by baldockbanks courser Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 badger-baiting Quick Reference A barbarous sport in which a tough terrier was matched with a caged badger. The sport was popular in England across several centuries, along with bull-baiting and bear-baiting. As Robert Malcolmson notes, badgers were easier to attain and, consequently, more often baited. Malcolmson quotes Henry Alken, an observer of 1839, on the objective of the sport, which was to see how many times ‘the dog will draw the badger from his box, within a given space of time’, and how effectively a ‘well-bred and thoroughly trained dog’ could accomplish this (Popular Recreations in English Society, 1700–1850, 1973). Badger-baiting attracted gambling, and cases were still being prosecuted at the end of the 19th century (in Preston, Lancashire, for instance, in 1897) despite the successful campaigning of the reformers who opposed such forms of cruelty to animals practised in the name of sport. this not how the BBC chooses to portray badger baiting and it chooses to portray all terrier work in the same light legal or not Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Bombard them with complaints! I haven't even seen it but Paulus's description was enough to get the jist and coble something together. The antis oil their propaganda machine regularly and it runs like a german engine! They hit hard with very little real muscle, and we stand toe to toe taking every hit like a damn fool! It's about time we took a leaf out of the yanks books and started hitting back with our much bigger muscles! But we wont will we, we'll shrug our shoulders and pretend we aren't in the fight or we have already lost..... 1 Quote Link to post

Paid 935 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 i sent in a complaint. Only based about the sentence where she said "a new blood sport called lamping, where people with strong lights and lurchers go after badgers, foxes, deer and hare at night" The stupid bitch knew it was a half truth, as she has worked in this field for some time now Quote Link to post
pattstaff 157 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Im not saying that we dont have a part to play and be active in defending our sport but I strongly beleive that all our subscription paid fieldsports societys should be spearheading responces to the media programmes. They should be all over these media antis like a fecking rash. 2 Quote Link to post
