Graham 87 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 today on picking up my local paper reading through it and found this article in here it reads. What kind of sick thug goes out with the intention of startling an innocent animal to render it defenceless in order to set a dog on it? What enjoyment could someone possibly get from watching such a disgusting spectacle? These mindless idiots are in the same league as those who train dogs to fight. These thugs must be stopped and feel the full weight of the law. Now upon reading this it made my blood boil and got me really agitated :realmad: a mean how can some like this judge and then say such comments without knowing what we do or how we do it i would like to hear soe replies please as i intend to phone these people up and demand a public apology to all of us that do this sport your views and comments would be really helpful ATB Graham Quote Link to post

Malt 379 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've said it before, but I reckon that within 20 years, people who run there dogs on live quarry, will be looked upon the same way as badger baiters are today by the general public. Quote Link to post

TOPPER 1,809 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 why not get onto basc and the countrysde alliance and get them to exert a bit of pressure after all they have good pr teams Quote Link to post
craigyboy 1,274 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 include in your letter the actions of the case of the grave robbers taking a granny. ask is this the tyoe of people the paper want to associate with. Ask do they care more about animals than people do they want to see police and courts time and money wasted on harrassment of coutry people that harm no one while rapists padeophiles and murders over run our societys. of course they do ,this is the labour society we live in,if your an immigrant or 1 of the fecked up fluffy bunny brigade then this is the party for you,if your a hunter, then come the next election vote the red b*****ds out :wankerzo4: Quote Link to post
Lennard 10 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah try to be the best advocate of our sport as possible. Never loose your temper and try to show the beauty and responibleness of hunting with dogs...give rabbit meat away for cooking and take youngsters out...write a good letter to the newspaper and be on their tail. Most of the readers eat meat that has seen a lot more suffering. L Quote Link to post
