Wolf coursing with Borzois.

[Dawn B 212]

Can anyone tell me what the point of this is and what possible purpose it serves?

Theres not alot of things that will get to me but that did The poor wolf must be terrified and probably has to run foor the dogs on a regular basis as it obviously gets caught again with the big rope hanging from it Them 3 big dogs just started barking then didnt even take hold, them dogs and the people running that need a bullet

[Guest MOLLY]

By the look of it that wolf had been used before, knew exactly what was coming.

No words to describe it really, disgusted about covers what i feel.

Something about that video doesnt seem right?

That wolf seems tame! How is that man holding a wild wolf? Is it a husky?

 

That definately is not wolf hunting anyway!

I have gave rabbits longer slips thats no way a wild wolf bad crack that vid its just a bit much like

[BULLWHIP 0]

load of crap thats what gives hunters bad names.

Disgusting, i don't get what they are doing it for, just seems cruel. They are using the tame wolf like a lure, i hope it turns around and bites one of the f**kers hands off.

Im pleased you share my opinion of what can only IMO be described as pathetic! A pathetic sight to watch the Wolf (if it is a Wolf) be dragged out and crawl off with a rope trailing it. The dogs are doing what dogs do, are they supposed to hold, or just bring the Wolf to bay?

I meant what is the point of doing what they were doing, a captive Wolf on a rope with 3 Dogs in persuit on a very very short run, seemed totally pointless and completely unessesary.

different strokes for different folks . get of your high horses and think what a lot of people in this country think of hunting . i bet those fellas have been doing that for hundreds of years who are you to tell them they are wrong .

[Giro 2,648]

Who's saying its wrong...? The folk are saying its pointless, unesscessary, pathetic and disgusting.....which it is. I wouldn't condemn them for what they do but you can hardly expect any genuine hunters to condone the actions of these people. Its not hunting.....its baiting.

I like and admire wolfs there beautiful animals. Parts of Russia are third world countrys they dont know any better. There are far worse wildlife crimes going on around the world, on gorillas and orangutans for instance.

I think in this instance, there is no "sport" of any description, there is no suggestion of control or conservation, just a cowering pet Wolf being chased by dogs a short distance with its tail between its legs with a long rope attached to it. What on eart could be the point in it? I fail to see it.

 

Whilst I agree with you about wildlife "crimes" I dont think this falls in the same category.
