Hello , is there anybody there, 

[toolebox 1,527]

These new laws/rules are worldwide, driven by the UN with each country having mandates to meet ,it's without doubt a brand-new level of madness. With each passing year, I question & ponder these matters and realize this world is not the one I was brought up in ,It's something I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams ,ponkers running the damn country now.

Could you elaborate as little more on the UN please is this we ith regards to hunting laws? Some countries are in a way better situation and all game is fair game

That legislation is so flawed

What if the man with the gun,..wounds the rabbit....and how quickly does this Bird of Prey, dispatch a rabbit

Surely a nice gentle, fetch back to the handler is preferable,..especially to the poor old rabbit...

It can take quite a while for a BOP to dispatch a rabbit depending on the species of bird, Size of the bird.  experience of the bird  and the size of the rabbit, Most of the time the falconer completes that task. How is that any different to a dog that retrieves live to hand!  Absolutely Bonkers mate.

Your whole life is lurcher work you live and breathe it you still do...

You.can fly birds at any quarry except protected species, even deer and fair play 2 the falconry lads

Flawed is an understatement. The people who made the decisions have no clue how it works because they have never done it because they are obviously dead against it. Yet they have the cheek to wipe out thousands of peoples hobbies and sport just like that. Be like me going into builders yard and telling some one how to build a house when I haven't got a clue .I saw a post on a FB group of a day out ferreting. There was old folks middle age and kids boys and girls. All having a great day out and catching few rabbits. Lovely to see. Them pictures should be rammed in the face of the morons that think they rule the place. It really is disgusting

You've got to realise it's not the welfare of the humble rabbit that concerns these fckn lunatics it's just getting 1 over on hunters that is important however flawed or illogical
