Ferretting With The Dog And Stopped By Police ??

[dommorris92 64]

Was out yesterday on council permission withme dad brother and the mutt. . Went nice and early to stay out the way of public . But obv caught some ones eye as when we were walking back to the car a police car pulled up bloke got out asked us what were doin . Told him rabbot control amd showed him all my council amd insurance papers . . He then asked what the involvment of the dog was . Which i thought was strange so just sed she was for marking the sets . Then he asked to see all the rabbits tht we had caught to look for signs of dog abuse on them . . . No marks he then said sorry to bother you Nd went ??? Wat was tht about . Why did he ask the involvment of the dog when its all perfectly legal . . The ground isnt hot Nd no other qaurry on there . . Wasnt bein stupid with the dog as most the time she is on the lead . . He sed theyd had to reports from the public but didnt say what we were supposed to have done . .

I live in a semi rural area and oness asked a local bobby in a pub if he knew the hunting act and he admitted he didnt. Maybe he was the same.

I know this pip . . The Hunting Act 2004 Despite what many non-rabbiting people may think, the Hunting Act 2004 did not ban the use of dogs for hunting rabbits.

 

 

 

Part 1 (Offences) of the act states: 1 Hunting wild mammals with dogs A person commits an offence if he hunts a wild mammal with a dog, unless his hunting is exempt. 2 Exempt hunting (1) Hunting is exempt if it is within a class specified in Schedule 1. Schedule 1 (Exempt Hunting), section 4 clearly states: The hunting of rabbits is exempt if it takes place on land (a) which belongs to the hunter, or ( which he has been given permission to use for the purpose by the occupier or, in the case of unoccupied land, by a person to whom it belongs.

if it happens again point this out to the police and explain the law to them just to see if pork can be educated
