Jonnyni Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 As it states above, The media/anti's etc are portraying all these things as unacceptable and barbaric cruel sports country folk are getting pleasure from. Well OK is it any wonder with the kind of articles the media and anti's show on television and write about in the public domain. People are bound to get upset as everything is concentrated on the negative side of things. Just think if they get there hands on footage of someone shooting pigeons out of a tree with an airgun or squirrels for that matter, or a wee bunny getting caught in a net then to be necked by the hunter. Or someone in a hide decoying and used and twisted the facts to report a story. I could go on and on BUT the fact remains with country sports birds and animals get killed, its quick and IMO very humaine. They all end up dying and not of old age in a nice wee bed. The animal kingdom is cruel by it own nature, survival of the fittest. NOW my point in all this, Why has the media never shown footage of all those lovely cows,chickens,LAMBS, little piggies etc etc getting the chop at the knackers yard, Ive seen it and its not a pretty site. A lot less humaine than hunting IMO. WHY? Because Joe Public couldn't take it, the reality of it all would be too much, all that meat on the shelves arrives as if by magic. Is it not high time they where enlightened. There now I feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Did you notice the coverage of the waterloo cup at no point did they show the hare getting fair law witha 100m head start on the dog just the dogs finishing of a tired hare.

lurcherboy Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I can't be ***** anymore in defending what I and my friends do for recreation and pest control. So I have decided I wont bother to anymore. The anti's (thats just about everyone now) can go and take a running jump. They are never with me when I am in the hide, field, coursing or lamping. I can't speak for you bods, but I won't bother to put people straight anymore, it's not worthy of my valuble time. I am also pretty sure it does not make a ******* difference when the media will/can show what they like, when they like. Only response left is violence, before you condem me, please note how it works for the anti's. And yes, I did think this post out before delivering it. :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davhope Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 If the government can intervene on the highland estates and send in the cullers why can they not do so in a area where the deer are in poor condition due to excessivly high numbers, and have been for 2 YEARS... Am I being cynical in thinking that they dont want to upset the lacs so close to the hunt ban/general election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly though is the fact no one can act against them. Now thats really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davhope Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Can anyone legally act against them, and if so how can enough pressure be brought to encorage them to react. Dosent anyone know any pro hunting media people, theres got to be some somewhere. maybe the way to challange the lacs is to prove they know ****** all about wildlife managment/conservation.

Cranfield Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 As the British Deer Society article states , the reports of poor conditioned and dead deer on the LACS reserve , have been around since 2001. There were pictures in the national newspapers at the time and Hunting Organisations made their adverse comments about it. I'm sure there were no prosecutions. However, the Great British Public didn't really give a toss, in the same way that the majority of them have no real opinion about hunting with hounds. The anti hunting voiciferous minority and a class obsessed Government , are hardly likely to turn against the LACS, are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallinson Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Because Joe Public couldn't take it, the reality of it all would be too much, all that meat on the shelves arrives as if by magic. My old boss grew up in london, now he lives in a big mansion where i used to work, he wondered what caused all the little piles of soil in his fields, upon telling him they were moles he was in a state of shock. He had never heard of them or seen one before. If this apllies to the anti's aswell god help us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
