As drafted lurcher work is effectively finished in Scotland. Only rats and mice are exempt. There has been pressure from political lobbyists (Rabbits Have Rights is one) close to the Greens etc to end ‘rabbit coursing’ which of course we all know is a nonsense and that there is no such thing. The Scottish fieldsports/lurcher community are surprisingly apathetic and are doing almost nothing to counter the misinformation and/or defend this traditional form of pest control and sustainable harvesting of food north of the border. I know this having spoken to someone involved in the debates at Government level who says ‘almost nobody is doing anything’ 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 16,105 Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 For many many years there has been an attitude of “ look at those lot on the fens , f***ing spoiling it , travellers , pikeys , matching , bringing it on top for all of us , do it proper , permission , wink wink , I fly under the radar , even my neighbours don’t know I have dogs “ this CIA level tradecraft to go f***ing lamping rabbits has led to this . The door is shutting boys , and instead it will be those who never gave a f**k in the first place to fly the flag . ironic really 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are defending something that is perfectly legal and entirely justifiable at present and, frankly, something that doesn’t bother most ordinary people in society. This has all come as a result of the deal Sturgeon did with the Greens to support her independence dream. It will be nothing short of a disaster for anyone who wants to work a lurcher in Scotland if the Act is passed and a sad day. Because personally I’m not the face to fight this fight I’ve my own business which keeps a roof over my family’s head might loose less customers if I stood for BNP with the snowflakes moving down from the city’s and social meeting bandwagon jumping just so they can show face at school gates in morning plus anyone digging would find with my record from my teenage years to early twenty’s would be proved right on there criminal element claims sad thing is I wouldn’t after that be given a platform to tell the same plebs how working dogs and this countryside turned that around or the passion that I have for it when it comes in I’ll come of here sell the books delete Facebook pages and play dumb rescue dog or something sad but if that’s what I’ve got to do that’s what I’ll do simple Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gypsydog94 4,607 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Abit more on Scottish hunting act. Apparently basc has said that ferreting to lurchers isn’t done much anymore.
