What Hope For Hunting

[jigsaw 11,875]

thats what I was thinking,who'd give a shit,choke the fekin mutt and then defend your actions,any right minded person could not find fault with such a measure.

[Brigzy 1,298]

There is a simple message here.... DO NOT VIDEO OR RECORD ANYTHING YOU DO !!! There is a soldier doing time right now for slotting a terrorist, simply because his "mates" recorded it on their 'phones ! I have no truck nor sympathy with these idiots in this instance; they are retarded and should be removed from the breeding pool..... but how many coursers, foxers, etc, have been found guilty because of their stupid need to record what they are doing ? The poachers of old were proud of the fact that no one knew they had been on the land; the modern counterpart seem to want every one to be aware of what they do via youtube, facebook etc !!!

[blackmaggie 3,376]

said it before the net does so much damage to genuine lads when dickheads like this post stuff on youtube and sites on facebook especially they do so much damage because joe public thinks were all like that beat me to it brigzys and that varney deserves a slap for the condition of that white staff fecking scum

maybe its time for a code of conduct for genuine lurchermen to adhere to, at least that way we can distance ourselves from anyone who does not adhere to it,

[Phil Lloyd 10,738]

Genuine hunting men already have a code of conduct,.it is written deep down, within their heart and soul...Sane and sensible hunters,.. don't require any code or set of rules to adhere to,...we have it sussed..

then your all in danger of being tarred with the same brush then, as what in the public's eyes is there to set you apart from each other,

[Phil Lloyd 10,738]

You cannot legislate, against a bunch of feckwits or try and appease folk who have no idea, what the game is about...

Non hunters will always struggle to understand, the difference twixt us and the divi chavies...

I've spent a long time doing my own thing, as have many others..

 

I already have my code of conduct,...it is up to us all,.. to walk our own path...

ask dymented that question, we are being persecuted and made out to be criminals by the media and the RSPCA. times have changed and make no mistake they are out to ban all hunting with dogs either by use of the law or intimidation, makes no difference what path you walk there all leading to the same place at the minute, to do nothing but to bury ones head in the sand will not stop this.

[RemyBolt 420]

I have to agree with Paulus on this. As a shooter, I have the GL that can be viewed as a restriction of freedom or as protection for my actions.

 

With Lurchers, it would make sense to have similar security. Coursing is beyond me, I don't get it, and I don't really have a burning desire to learn about it (I have many questions as personal curiosity, but I don't have enough desire to start a post on it. If you course and want to explain some stuff, please message me), but I do appreciate the tradition and all that.

 

However, things like coursing for someone else's pet....not on!

[gonetoearth 5,144]

Funny how the rspca. Have this in the media When they are being shown in a bad light by the current case. Dymented Fighting fund YET NO TABLOID HAS PRINTED ANY WORD OF IT

[Snifferboy 659]

Dymented's case should be in the tabloids for all to see, but how would you get it there? There may also be plenty of other people that have had similar dealings tell their story...

I think all right minded hunting men, abhor the fools who film themselves, participating in unlawful,cruel acts and of course , what has occurred to Dymented's jukel, via the RSPCA is truly horrific....and for that reason I feel confident that my own deeds and words (over the last 50 years) have always strived to set an example to my fellow hunters, to be fair and humane and to show some respect for our dogs, our quarry, and obviously, ourselves...That being said,..I'm sure there are far better men, out there to speak up for our passion than I.....and if folk really do feel there is a need for a Lurcher Mans Charter of Behaviour, kinda thing ,...then go for it..

 

But for now, I'll just keep on.. keepin on, as best I can...

i truly believe with a code and some form of legal insurance or whatever to back up those who adhere to it, then perhaps we wouldn't be such an easy target, whether its achievable or not, who knows, as we are in the main a one man band,

[Rabbit Hunter 6,613]

I think within every generation you get these dickheads that aren't in with the dogs for the long run, it's just a passing phase, and these are the types that give us this bad name doing stuff like this. Unfortunately we have video cameras nowadays which makes it a lot harder to justify what we do to the general public. Luckily there's still a few young lads up and down the country that have the right beliefs and morals, and have the good of the working dog at heart (myself included) that will carry it on to the next generation so the older boys shouldn't worry too much...
