Jonjon79 13,358 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 A suspended sentence for lamping a couple of rabbits What's the story here - was he on land with no permission? Are they coming down on dog lads? ......... surely it's not just because he took a couple of rabbits? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 22,563 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 I would guess there is more to it. Prob a repeat of multiple poaching offences with other nuisance issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Since when has shooting rabbits, aided by lamp light been illegal ? Now if your using dogs that may be different. Can you give the details of this because it could be either. You dont say whether it was with gun or dog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EDDIE B 3,159 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 Lad in Ireland was done for trespassing, although the judge said it was "barbaric to hunt rabnits with dogs". He also ruled that the dogs be taken off him. You really are at the mercy of the judge on the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 admitted hunting animals with dogs and has been given a suspended prison sentence and banned from parts of the county. He appeared at Poole Magistrates Court on Tuesday 19th November 2019 for an application by Dorset Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to VARY an existing criminal behaviour order. Cochrane had pleaded GUILTY at a previous hearing on Wednesday 30 October 2019 to offences of being in possession of a wild animal, which he was prohibited from doing by a criminal behaviour order, and for hunting a wild mammal with a dog, an offence under Section 1 of the Hunting Act 2004. Well there you go. Section 1 of the hunting act 2004. "Judge... is there anything known of the criminal ?? Prosecution. .. " yes M,lud !! " "The blighter is known in the trade as a persistent offender" !! Judge "Ahh, he's guilty then" ! make an example of him. I order him to have his christmas nuts boiled in oil . May the LORD have mercy on his nuts. And detained at her majesty's pleasure If you please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EDDIE B 3,159 Posted November 28, 2019 Report Share Posted November 28, 2019 This is the other fiasco A man was sentenced to jail at Naas District Court last Tuesday, November 19, after he pleaded guilty to a charge of roaming land in contravention of the Wildlife Act. John Casey, 35,of 6 St Aiden’s Close, Tallaght, was spotted on land at Griffin Rath, Maynooth by the landowner with lurcher dogs, hunting for rabbits. Judge Desmond Zaidan heard a verbal altercation took place between the two men, although solicitor Joe Coonan said the altercation was at a distance. Learn more He said that hunting rabbits was a pastime, handed down by the defendant’s father. He makes stew from the caught rabbit, which is illegal. Mr Casey is married with four children. Mr Coonan said that he was very apologetic for the incident. Judge Zaidan described the activity as a “barbaric practice” and referred to the defendant as a “small fry in a big pond”, adding that it was a widespread practice. He sentenced the defendant to three months in custody and ordered that the dogs be seized from the defendant and handed over to the local animal foundation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
