fox hunting
andycwb:
While I disagree with fox hunting, I don't advocate it being banned. Too many things are being banned these days because someone else doesn't like it. Today fox hunting, tomorrow 4x4s.
Live and let live.

Just to add abit more,,, I have SEEN Hunt horses come back from what they call a day of fun with more cuts from barded wire and being made to go through brambles.
I also thought the law of the countryside was that ALL dogs be kept on a lead :? Or is this one law for the likes of me and one for the likes of the hunt?
How about the dogs that get cut to bits when they run across railway lines and are hit by trains ( yes I have seen this)
How can the hunt kennels say that all the dogs are wormed and vaccinated when they are kenneled together? How many of you hunt supporters have heard of TOXICARA CARNIS?

Well, I doubt there's an exact "requirement" for the law to be followed such as Police pressing charges. It's more likely a case of if you let your dog loose, and it goes near livestock then don't be surprised if there is a bang and the dog drops dead.
Where as the hounds are trained to follow the fox scent.

Yes I have. It's a type of worm that resides in a Dog's small intestine if the Dog is infected with the disease. :wink:

sadly what ever the feelings are, the laws the law and thats that. I do feel I must abide by the law but will protest legally as and when I think it will be heard, this is a democratic country and voices must be heard in a fair manner what ever the subject....
