Cranfield Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Assuming its not a joke (getting near April 1st) , I can't see what benefits a "Church" or "Religion" thinks it has defending shooting over say, BASC , CA, etc. I can't imagine anybody taking it seriously.

243deer Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 as a strategic plan to save field sports it will not work. Religious status would stop people saying nasty things about us and would also stop the direct action of antis or at least mean that the police could charge them with further offences. It will not stop ever more restrictions on what we can shoot, where, when and with what. The giving up of any ground should be being hard fought by our organisations however recent history shows a complete lack of spine between the lot of them.

mel b3 Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Am I right in thinking that veganism has been given some kind of religious status ?, or did I just imagine that ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re more than very likely correct, I would just like to think that someone somewhere, who opposes shooting, would be quite rankled by it, but probably not. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm not sure a sport sometimes practised by a solitary person could be a religion, however if following a food fad [vegan] is now accepted as a religion then it follows that those who eat meat [perhaps harvested by their own hand] could also be considered as a religion.... The church of ethically sourced meat ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will still annoy vegans, but actually likely to have people signing up who aren't involved. Either way, nothing will likely come of it one way or another. But by all means put it down.

I think that it's a good idea if it 'could' protect our sport. I don't know where the loony identity comes from! Unless I am one as I joined. They seem to be a nice bunch interested in saving our sport. There are always those slag off what they don't understand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
