Someone in england scotland or wales must be willing to stand up an be head honcho,farmers are under similar attack an im sure we could join together if we both help one another,i think farming an hunting go hand in hand an we should come together,i think most farmers will appreciate the help?

I would guess farmers would be the last people to stand up for lurcher work.

I only just watched em on YouTube. Never ever get anything like that on telly again. Very good show. Jack's blunt and honest in it. A pack of beagles catch a hare in the show and Jack says "all wild animals die violent deaths, none of em die peacefully in their bed"....very true.

But he also very clear about the benefits of the hunting sports he does the shows about.

After the ban on hare coursing and the subsequent epidemic of driving around fields after hares attitudes changed in the East. As a teenager I learnt from a farm manager who had terriers and used to course greyhounds, these days I can't get rabbiting permission near me without ferrets only as the opening line, once secured I simply ask of it's ok to bring the dogs as they make the job easier. My experience tells me it's not about the type of dogs, the few landowners I deal with have been generally very interested and accepting. That said, I recently got my first ever whippet as I feel the need for my dogs to look different to hare dogs.

If a rabbiting ban came it would be over for me, post COVID the more general wanderings of the public bring me into contact with them, last Sunday I was stopped twice while ferreting on private land, one couple said "I thought you were hare coursing" and seemed disappointed I had the farmers permission
