leegreen 2,221 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 There isn't. Have you seen how long a bird takes to kill a Hare? It's all about legislation and the fact not many people are at it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Accip74 7,112 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yes it's all wrong..... .....but have you ever seen reports of gangs of falconer's in the tabloids? Much like shooting, it still holds an air of respectability..... Thus it was never included in the ridicules rushed through legislation we have now.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I use to run a few lure coursing events up my way we a member on here few years ago got some ground from local farmers to host it on few lads who was into ferreting manage to get some land to work on because farmers seen we weren't thugs we dogs that was not a danger to live stock and crops but I believe if we can get land owners to support the use of working dogs then this can only help our cause to get our views heard and understood and help expel the myth that we are all organised criminals wanting to rape pillage and plunder 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
