Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 As everyone reading this is no doubt aware this week was a dark dark day for Scottish hunters with all kinds of actual killing of animals with dogs (bar rats and mice) completely banned by the Scottish government. No longer can you catch even a rabbit without the fear of a potential 5 year prison sentence. The organisations that are supposed to be on our side The Countryside Alliance and BACs claimed that no one uses dogs for catching rabbits anymore and as per the main ban and coursing threw us dog men (and women) right under the bus. Make no mistake this will become an issue in England and Wales if we are to have any hope of not following the same path as Scotland we must make our selves heard. I urge every member on here to write to Countryside Alliance, BAC,s and your MP making it clear how passionate you are about keeping our sport alive. It may make no difference but I for one will stew in my anger a lot better if I know I did what I could. Every minority under the sun seems to get their voice heard in this country and it’s about time we had ours heard. f**k the ban and keep doing what we all do. 11 3 Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,719 Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Understand completely what you're saying, and sent an email TWICE, to my LABOUR member of Parliament, a few years ago, telling him about how stupid, unfair and against the 'common man' etc, all these bans and regulations are. Only to receive a letter, exactly 5 days later, TELLING me that in no way would he support hunting in any way, and how cruel it is, and he'd do all he could to make sure it all stays banned!! This is in the labour ward of South wales. Absolute tosser of a person, I won't call him a man!! 9 Quote Link to post

SNAFU 4 Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 the self proclaimed elitists will start executing poachers or deporting you next. just like they used to do. what do they care if people starve? in their minds it would decrease the excess population which is the ultimate goal. want to fix it? educate your children on the facts and reality of life, stop relying on the public indoctrination camps. get yourself and as many friends as you can involved in every aspect of local politics and above. weasel your way in there the same way they did. you have to play the game by their ever changing rules. it has to start small. it will appear pointless and a waste of time. do it anyway. at least you can say you tried as they usher you into their concentration camps for "reeducating".... 2 Quote Link to post

Bobtheferret 1,248 Posted January 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 It all makes me so incredibly f***ing angry, as many others have said above the truth is there is probably nothing we can do. If a million marching on London did nothing last time then whatever we do now probably won’t make any odds. Just feel so ignored and impotent about the entire thing. Only thing to be said in our favour (not that it helped Scotland) is it really worth the parliamentary time? Blair said he regretted it in the end as was just not worth the time. Far far more important issues than killing a rabbit with a dog in the country. 3 Quote Link to post
