unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Where in the hunting act of of 2004 does it say you can NOT take a fox on the run with a lurcher? Could someone put up the link please!It comes under the part about not hunting wild mammals with dogs....the RSPCA also bring prosecutions under the Animal Welfare Act, normally on charges of keeping an animal for the purpose of fighting and causing an animal fight. http://huntingact.org/?q=node/3#Section_1_-_Hunting_Wild_Mammals_with_Dogs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGLURKS 874 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 For a bit of sense look at fishing shows hell they even have the biggest catch in the sun newspaper how many mps are trying too ban hobby fishing even though the antis want it banned the bad puplicy that gets printed from lurcher work is what kills any chance of the sports coming back the way the newspaper targets the travellers and gangs of dogs any thing that brings lurcher work in the bad spotlight will always stop any ban from being lifted ie how lurchers are tied with gypsy gangs that steal from farms what we do need is a good TV series like country file but the truth about lurcher work a producer that will make a TV series and put lurcher work in a positive way is the only way you will get anything done in my opinion I think there should be a fund or a donate scheme for money put too making a film that can be controlled bye certain few too make hunting in a positive way even include celebraty chefs for the stuff caught too how we'll it tastes ie living of the land setup but that's just my theory Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could someone put up the link please! It doesn't... http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/37/section/1 A person commits an offence if he hunts a wild mammal with a dog, unless his hunting is exempt.

I think it comes under hunting a mammal with a dog - Fox = mammal......lurcher = dog. I dont think your point would stand up in court, but worth a try if you get nicked lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stop.end 4,079 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It has no mention in the hunting act of taking vermin\predator I.e. a fox with a lurcher on the run it does not allow you to draw the animal as that is classed as baiting but on the run is exempt! Hunting and animal fights are totally different hunting is using dogs bred specifically to HUNT not fight! Hare coursing as an organised event is illegal! People need to know what there talking about before they start talking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hunting and animal fights are totally different hunting is using dogs bred specifically to HUNT not fight! Hare coursing as an organised event is illegal! People need to know what there talking about before they start talking. Fox is a mammal, lurcher is a dog.... hunting mammals with dogs is illegal. It's not rocket science. Baiting doesn't even come into the hunting act. Edited July 8, 2015 by Born Hunter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol I've told you before I've coats here older than you stay off here letting on your educated and educate yourself on something that's obviously way over your head! Why are you talking about hounds and baiting? Your original question was lurchers and foxing. You're all over the place. Baiting isn't mentioned in the hunting act. Prove otherwise! I put up the legislation, knock yourself out. You haven't the foggiest about this legislation, your first post made that evident.

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 And I'm well aware of the exemptions. I use a few of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stop.end 4,079 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Lol. Your right I'd no nothing about the hunting act or animal health and welfare bills or about standing in front of government legislators RSPCA, LACS and police commisioners justice departments all in the same room at the same time defending the right to hunt in open rooms with all relevant bodies and come out on top! As I said SON stick you to cutting and pasting from google 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,763 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) So that's a 'I don't know and can't prove it but gonna throw some insults at you". So back to the beginning... where am I wrong again? Are you one of these old coats that I'm to listen to? Edited July 8, 2015 by Born Hunter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery_Weasel 460 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 It's a step in the right direction not a back track. Cameron supports the right to hunt but they most likely know that a complete overturn of the ban would not get through. It's all about small victories and we need to take them where we can! To ban it or not is not an argument that i think will ever end so anything that takes it in the right direction is better than nowt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stop.end 4,079 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 You can't educate pork is the old saying. But its you who needs to show me where its illegal to take a fox with a lurcher on the run? Not for me to tell you how its legal! Been there defended it and won! What have you done?
