Sheep Farmer Shoots Hounds

[Cargol 302]

Obviously the bloke is a c**t for what he has done. But in the eyes of the law he is well within his rights to shoot any animal worrying his livestock. There doesn't have to be bits of sheep all over the place for him to have just cause. The law states the worrying of livestock. Which as said could be simply the hounds in the same field as the sheep.

I don't know the area so it's hard to comment, but round here a land owner could do this and wouldn't think twice about pissing off the local hunts. Plenty of boys out there with rifles to keep the foxes in check.

This guy knows his neighbours use the hunt for fox control so that doesn't justify his action shooting hounds that just happen to cross his land on a scent. And by the way rifles ain't hounds, have you forgotten we are still fighting for this way of life, or should we all buy rifles and give in!!!!!!!

Sounds a bit harsh to me shooting the dogs but as everyone says it's in the law so what can you do. Getting payback is destined to make the whole thing drawn out and costly for both sides.

 

Flip side of the coin is the local hunt around here has been out with lamps making the foxes lamp shy apparently . Not sure if that's par for the course tho but I thought that was a bit sly considering people who shoot foxes haven't done anything wrong themselves

Feel that I may have been a bit hasty in some of my posts earlier , just meet the c**t on a country road somewhere and knock f**k outta him . Can understand that he has law on his side , but think if he shot my dogs he would Deffo get a dig in the mouth regardless of consequences

Got nothing against rifles own one myself. Got to remember we are on the same side and should stick together whatever!! As for your local hunt lamping foxes making them lamp shy new one on me that

22 year old shoots four hounds, kills two.

 

Thats why you don't give children guns.

 

Bet the c**t was pretty close to them, doubt they were chasing the sheep, probably just lost and didn't run till he started firing at them.

 

What a c**t.

I can't attest to the truth in it. It's just what someone who shoots foxes has told me last week

That's fair enough Wesh_red

I don't know the farming situation where it happened but I'm telling you now if you start burning barns and battering farmers for a legal act(c**t of a thing to do when sheep are not in any actual danger I know) then the farming community can be tight knit and it will only be the hunts that loose out. Tough but true.

I'd keep on hunting and try and keep the hounds away from that certain place, hard I know but it's only the dogs that will loose out if not.

Well he some young prick head to have in your community, and the old man was sound. He must be some kind of a c,, nut,. You always get one bad apple. You should have words to him and be on your guard.

i've also heard of people calling them in august/sept time and then clapping hands and generally making a racket to frighten them off.

Guilty as charged on that one .

Around here half the lamping is done because lads are bored or want to stay out of the pub not about vermin control.

So I've often called in litters of cubs and fired a shot over their heads.

If we hadn't the cowboys there'd be plenty for everyone.

 

The farmer in question who shot the hounds ? The more I think about it the more he sounds like an unstable character.

I would definitely make the local police aware of your concerns and if he was ever to f**k up again there's a good chance he loose his FAC.

Another thing, he's obviously a lover of foxes and I don't know about you's but many times over the years I've had to shift foxes I didn't want to kill and this farmer sure does sound like he'd appreciate them.

At least it's better than greyhounds that he's going to shoot anyways.

[Haiddheliwr 1,911]

As I said spindelero haven't heard of that going on down here! All I know is farmer's want foxes taken care of by whatever means they really don't care

An old man who loved hounds, hunting, etc once told me that about giving a roar on the youngish Charles and a shake of the lamp to scare, because of f,ckwrs shooting all at night and there being nothing in places were the used to always be.
