Coursing.changing Public Opinion

[Long slip77 9]

Do any of you think that, wi way things are going, that in future, they'll start dishing out short spells in nick for lads caught coursing?

Asking because if you take badger digging as an example, in 80's fines started getting higher, dogs started getting confiscated, laws amended, similar to what's happening now wi coursing, then when that didn't stop lads digging, in 90's prison sentences started getting handed out! Just a thought!

The Police have been very clever getting Joe Public to do their work for them''[if you see anyone with a greyhound type of dog ring us",] [" dont approach them ,many of them are dangerous violent criminals and drug pushers,"].

 

All the time they can portray coursers as such they will keep the public's support,and lets not forget the intiative for Galilieo came as a response from landowners pig sick of poachers all over their fields ,trashing crops ,threatening them and in some isolated instances causing them physical injury .The NFU decided enough was enough.

 

I would not be at all surprised if an accomodation was reached enabling custodial sentences to be given to those with form.

One of the stalwarts of the game was tazered this year, and from what I have been told he was in the process of legging it, not offfering any threat whatsoever.A year ago I would have not believed it would have happened , but it has.

Hares. Should not be shot end of

Indiscriminate

Not Guarrenteed to kill outright

Plenty wounded and die slow

With coursing its quick and cut and dry

For best part selective

Best get away and breed on

well said, anyone can apply and get a shotgun and without any training go out and shoot wild animals, wound maim, not right with a dog its dead or gets away ,and I used to shoot, its makes my blood boil ,its about the chase not the kill for me atb BB

 

you cant just get a shotgun....... you have to complete a compulsary competance course before you can get a firearm certificate.

[Long slip77 9]

Thought that was just bullet guns! Do you have to do that for a shotgun certificate now?

[riohog 5,701]

in what country does this compitance thing work cos it aint the uk for sgs or section 1 stuff

[Long slip77 9]

Thought shotgun you just filled an application form in and they either accept you or they don't?

[fox digger 1,086]

You don't have to complete a course of any sort to own either a shot gun, or a firearm , in the UK, neither do you need a firearms licence for a shotgun ,a shotgun licence is all that is required.
