ShootingEgg Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Think headline should read, "yet again antis harassing cull shooters" obviously nothing worth reporting so that got used to fill the blank page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Under the guidelines, licensed hunters can shoot at roaming badgers using a .22 calibre rifle. Is this correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rimotu66 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 What worries me is that we as shooters/hunters do not have a similar voice to balance the argument so the 'uneducated' public only get the anti bile to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgum Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Hysterical nonsense from the Mirror, what else do you expect? The true story of what is happening in Gloucestershire is the antis are constantly breaking the law, trespass, criminal damage, and intimidation. Its not just about badgers its about country life, most of the anti's round our way have brummy accents. Due to social media and the fools that believe the rubbish put on it, the antis are scrounging funds from the innocent to provide inner city yobs with something to do out in the countryside. Smashing gates, highseats, pheasant feeders, in matter of fact anything they think is related to shooting and the police seem to be reluctant to arrest as they feel some bad behaviour is allow in a protest ? The funds the sabs scrounge in the name of old brock are supposed to fuel vehicles and supply night vision equipment but really its financing a 6 week holiday of thuggery for those with nothing better to do. For a bunch of vegans how come they leave so many big mac and macdonald wrappers in each and every gateway, sure the organisers may have principles but they don't care about the soldiers they recruit.

Savhmr Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) So we have a story where the Mirror demonises legal culling, where the shooters would have had permission and have been commissioned to undertake a night time cull on private ground, and then these animal rights nutters publicly admit that they would have intervened to prevent the shot had they been there when it was taking place? They further admit to using NV kit for night time patrolling, so what we can reasonably assume from this is that the animals rights activists are, by their own admission; Trespassing Threatening aggravated trespass which is a criminal offence carrying a custodial sentence. S68 of the Public Order Act 1994 has made it a criminal offence to trespass and disrupt or obstruct the lawful activities of others, or to intimidate and deter others from their lawful activity. Intent to disrupt has to be proved. By their own admission, the muppets in that story have admitted their intent to disrupt a lawful activity and have openly admitted trespass or the intent to trespass for the purpose of obstructing a legal activity. The story should have been how those muppets were shopped and arrested once this evidence came to light, but instead we have the usual sensationalist rubbish.

Redgum Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 ..... and when the activists start preaching on how much the cull has cost. Policing which has to be put in place to protect these muppets and try and allow this legal project to take place safely, £60.000 in smash traps that the activists openly admit and it goes on. Now for how humane the cull is, antis are sitting on sets and in many cases the badgers are laying up rather than returning to setts as the antis probably smell worse than the cull operatives. All the disturbance has cause so much unnecessary stress to old brock making humane dispatch even more difficult. So what do they want to achieve, boycott buying milk from uk farms so retailers buy from Europe where badgers are not protected, and as for the vegans, do they really believe that the food they buy hasn't seen animals harmed in someway, insecticides and pest control. And the antis called themselves the educated ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The whole article is noit just about badgers but about blackening Mr Cameron as well. Typical leftist trash but you are right, we need a single voice to respond on our behalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
