Regarding what max and born have said.....

 

Why is it legal to shoot a rabbit and a hare, and its ok for a dog to kill a rabbit but not a hare....?

 

What's the reasoning behind this?

. The hare is not protected the act of coursing is illigall. The hunting act is by far the most utter load of nomsence ever. Put in the statute book Go out with a lurcher and a shot gun put the hare up with the lurcher and take a shot you are not cousing or hunting you are flushing

 

So if you miss with the shotgun and the dog picks up the hare all is well with the law?

Worryingly there is a strong rumour that terrier work within Hunts will be traded to get the law amended to use a full pack of hounds again , remember , the hunting Tories are usually mounted particip

Seems like we might just get a bit of luck in our small country!   Godbless the hill farmers!

And unlike you Max, I'm not willing to 'sacrifice' any of my fellow countrymen's sports or traditions to save any other, regardless of whether I enjoy that particular flavour or not.

Because Mp's and their toffy nosed friends and family like to shoot ' basically

One rule for them and another for regular folk

The same as the smoking ban

They can

We can't

It's a two tier society

We second class in their eyes.

. No max because we let them take the moral high ground and it became a a political bargining tool were the c**t blair prescot sold there souls to the gimp To get a hunting ban They were bought end of they won on the back of the great thatchers government ripping the unions apart , and the dick heads prescot blair brown. Stood back and let them ban hunting coursing as a gise for revenge for the miners strike lol.

the proposal is a minor amendment, not any kind of review or repeal. most of us will be unaffected.

 

how i see it:

 

there will never be any kind of tinkering with permits, licences etc, perhaps one day the law may be repealed in its entirity and all will be as it was. i think there would only ever be one vote on this in parliamnet, there is so much bad press at stake for mps that they wouldnt revisit it again. for this reason, i think there will never be a vote unless there is a large tory majority, with a leader who is not only strong minded but also has a pro-hunting stance themselves. the chances of all these factors falling into place are, i'm afraid, unlikely. so i can see us soldiering on under the present limitations.

A minor amendment It may be but its a step in the right direction it may not affect you but it will affect many in the lakes wales and the dales were they are persecuted by morons Fox control within law , we can take the moral high ground back , the use of hounds to flush to guns. In its present form is a farce. We know it they know it

You can tell election time is coming.........don't be giving it drinks all round yet boys, my guess is that it will amount to precisely f**k all.

Wilf is the only one on this thread who seems to have a memory when it comes to politics. I really can't understand why folk get sucked in to the lies EVERYTIME. The politicians must laugh at how gullible joe public is.

If we all thought like this we would be in a far better position now :thumbs:

I guess there are those that will fight,those with ambivalence and those that just love being the victim happy to lay the blame or cast the spotlight on others to justify their actions.

Yea, I just wish the shooters had this philosophy before the ban.

who better to preserve the hare species than the people who have an interest in hunting them? i totally agree with the majority against guns and in favour of dogs, can anyone realisticly see the ban being lifted? are any political parties pushing for this atm? with money tight a few hares in the pot is surely a good thing in a long winter?

Hare coursing will never be overturned at ground level. I'd be willing to bet my left nut that the ban regarding lurchers and hares as it was, will never be lifted in my lifetime.
