paulf 820 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 its a start so hopefully they might realise they f****d up and think a bit harder about a repeal.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boyo 1,398 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 the only ones benefiting from that would be the hunts the lurcherman is far from their thoughts which if anything did happen i always thought it would be something along these lines . 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 "Rules already in place allow farmers to flush foxes out of their dens and shoot them in order to protect flocks but it is a criminal offence to use more than two dogs." That's incorrect, the law completely forbids this. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's incorrect, the law completely forbids this. very true terriers can only be used to ground for game bird protection, digging to protect sheep is against this silly law Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirius 1,391 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) It's of little benefit to lurcher folk. But a step in the right direction, but the cynic in me suspects this will be the government's offering of a solution rather than going for a full repeal of this ridiculous law..

There basically going to try & get the same laws as Scotland. You're right Ali. It will allow the hunts to continue unimpeded, but will make no difference what so ever for lurched folk. There will be no more prosecutions of hunt staff, as long as there is someone it's a shotgun stood nearby. Be good news for the bushing packs though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the big chief 3,099 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 nothing will come of this but in my opinion they should scrap the stupid law in the 1st place and bring back how it was when i 1st started hunting with lurchers i have a couple of dogs going to waste hear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
