Leeview 791 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Committee is a great idea, hunting needs to be publicised over time in a positive light. Take school kids out to see the hounds working a trail, visit schools with ferreting dogs. Teach the benefits of controlling the numbers of pests in a humane way. Have hunters on the news and question time type programmes showing well trained, well behaved dogs working. All fieldports need one concerted unified campaing, hunting with dogs, hounds, coursing, fishermen, falconry, shooting all need to get together and promote responsible hunting show the lacs and anti's interupting legal hunts and the damage they cause to decent people, and it will take time, but hunting needs to play the anti's and the lacs at their own game. I proposed a comitee at the begining of this topic see what the response has been. Do you think schools will participate in ferreting lectures with pets corner in the classroom you will find most people think meat comes fro Tesco that is reality. Well next month will be our(my partner and myself)4th year having a stand at our local county show featuring myself knitting nets and herself introducing the ferrets to hoards of school children and their teachers,she tells them straight what we keep them for,feed them on and the kids are encouraged to hold the ferrets(supervised) its an exhausting 2 days but well spent educating what hopefully be the next generation. Prior to the ban herself organised a parade of lurchers(predominately coursing) in the main ring at this county show for 5yr recieving great rousing applause Y.I.S Leeview 9 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Have you ever attempted to go into a school and talk about rabitting and ferrets ? I know a few people near me who do the hospital visits with dogs they tried to go to the local primary schools and were told it was not permitted under health and safety mind you the school does not allow footballs in the play areas neither.Your set up at the county show is ideal for promotion so long may you continue.ATB Edited May 13, 2015 by desertbred Quote Link to post
