[nothernlite 18,076]

Let all talk nice and be gentle with each other the antis are watching and listening bar humbug

The comitee to represent all fieldsports sounds grand ,but...one thing Im 100% cerain of ,apart from a very small minority of anglers who hunt and fish,the fishermen/women will have absolutely nothing to do with fieldsports of any kind,distancing themselves from it in any way possible,Ive only been into hunting more over the last 5 or 6 years,Ive fished all my life,been on comitees,club member and bailiff for some years,fishermen hate being tarred with fieldsports brush with a passion,they feel by association fishing is in danger....a ban on fishing will never happen,but all the same mention it to a non hunting angler and watch their response

Lads in the 60,s wouldnt have thought hunting with dogs would be banned, in the 70,s and ,s battery hens, factory farms were the best thing since sliced bread until the tree huggers and antis got them in their sights. Fishing may appear safe but already they are restricting how often trawlers can put to sea using the excuse sustainable fish stocks, seal hunting has been restricted, whale hunting is vitually stopped so its not a done deal on any sporting or even food related activity as far as antis are concerned. access to waterways needs permission and licences so it isnt a given right to fish is it ?

This will all end badly, mark my words, there are already some ridiculous dog laws coming in, I can't see things moving in a positive way.

 

Would people be open for sensible reform? Most of the public haven't a clue, but the internet lets them shout as loud as they like.

Get more paki's hunting, government will bend over backwards to let them do it

Two points spring to mind, having read some of the recent posts on here

 

First, the so called idiot Chav hunters will still carry on doing what they do, ban or not, just as they are at the moment while the ban is in place. It hasn't affected them and it won't in any way whatever happens. They will still be t it Facebook and all

 

Second, these people were nothing to do with the ban, it was really just about organised hunting with ounces, which by progression embraced coursing, and other dog work just got sucked in. This is because there were two REAL items on the agenda, which were the symbolic socialist fantasy of putting the landed hunting gentry in their place and also a large cash donation to the labour party from animal rights loons.

 

I don't think there was any real interest in us lurcher boys to be honest, the few illegal coursers and poachers who used to get prosecuted were not anything like enough to consider creating a new law for.

Talking about Coarse fishing DB,very few of the coarse fish caught end up as food,although considerably more do now with all the eastern Europeans are here Trust me fishing as a pastime will never be banned ,its the biggest participation "sport" in Britain,it generates billions The antis would be outnumbered massively,its estimated between 2 and 3 million fisherman in the UK.....talking of the 70s and 80s back then the antis really tried to get their claws into fishing,I remember frogmen cutting keepnets during big matches on the Trent and the Severn it got them absolutely nowhere....(though you aren't allowed to whale on there anymore )

The grand national and greyhound and horse racing springs to mind millions watch it, they have tried to get that banned and no animals are hunted it does not matter to antis , if some one enjoys a passtime they will have a pop at it thats their sport.

Spot on mate The Waterloo Cup saw of coursing,the media showed it in a bad light every year without fail,and glorified the antis in attendance...most people are that weak minded they believe every bit of propaganda on the box,particularly if its on the good old BBC ...If TV hadn't raised the awareness of what was going on the average Joe would of neither known nor cared,for this reason alone I hope they don't try and lift the ban,as I said in an earlier post,they wont just say its not working and scrap it,there will be a full and open look at all things related....what will be frowned on next???nasty ferrets attacking poor bunnies,snaring,hawking etc etc

Spot on, with the poster child they had in fox hunting they wouldn't have got anything through. I was reading that since the ban lurchers are more popular than ever?

Again spot on, if you ask people in the street they haven't a clue, the lady down the road might wince at your string of rabbits, and he bloke down the road frown, but they aren't anti, shove a poll under their nose and they'll vote for a ban. But aren't actively out to ban things.

This is only the first salvo , lads still need to write to their respective MP,s get your friends relatives associates to write also even get templates printed and just get them to put their name and address on. The London gathering needs organising now for maximum participation and publicity , the lacs will be on fire now so lets get it together and take back our rights to participate in our country pursuits, without being criminalised and threatened over our sporting pass times.Any ladson other forums try to galvanise unity in the different activities and ask those that tend to post stuff of a damaging kind to use their brains and get together. With effort and unity we can get the job done now is our time dont waste it.
