'Autumn Hunting'

[Tinkerbee]

Craic

Not Crack

Honestly

and thats bollocks

I dont find enjoyment in teh death of foxes young or old. I am however glad that they wont be killing any of my livestock in the future]


and IMO best getting rid of the lil buggers early on

easier for my terrier to take out a litter of cubs than risk getting hurt/killed taking on an adult

I really think you need some help. I have never heard such stupid comments from someone. I take it you don't work, or have any responsibilities because if you did you wouldn't have such an immature, yobbish philosophy of life. Can't you go to a gym or something to try to get rid of your sadistic and aggresive tendencies?

 

[Muffin2]

I think you must be winding everyone up, nobody is as thick as you seem to be and nobody is that amoral surely. If you are serious I can only assume you have a deep seated problem and need help. See your GP.

 

[countess]

Thats not fair, I am a married mother of two kids(and i go to work), so if i agree with tink am i a yob??

 

[Tinkerbee]

I do work,and do have responsabilities


(although clearly I cant spell )

how am I yobbish and immoral?

and im perfectly healthy thanks

 

[Muffin2]

I thought hunting was illegal now? Have you all been in a time warp! Why are you Cubbing if you are supposed to be hunting a line? We all know you are breaking the law and I know for a fact that it is all going to come to an end pretty soon. If you all think you are above the law by all means have your moment but I don't think you ae bright enough to see that you are all playing into the Governments' hands by deliberately flouting the law. You might think you are getting away with it but I can assure you I know better He who laughs last etc.

 

[Muffin2]

What's your pont

 

[Tinkerbee]

Well I flit between Ireland and england so can have legal hunting

and we dont have to hunt a line.
we can flush to guns/bird of prey etc

sooo many loopholes to exploit :grin:

 

[countess]

Whats my pont?? not sure what you mean.

 

[Muffin2]

I doubt it. You have to answer the question: How can you justify causing all the upset and mayhem to other bridleway users and other horse riders. Every time you lot go out in force it churns up local bridleways, stops people riding out on their bridleways and upsets all the horses nearby. We get people parking horseboxes and trailers all over drives, blocking bridleways, holding up traffic, driving everyone in our vicinity nuts. How can you justify this? If you want to go hunting you should find a private estate where you do what you want and not interfere with everyone else. I can assure you the hunt is very unpopular with most horse riders and country folk.

 

[Tinkerbee]

perhaps the illiterate lil yob means point?

and perhaps they have no comeback... :smirk:

 

[countess]

Does anybody know who country folk are these days?

 

[Muffin2]

No quite. The point I was making is that you have a responsibility to the people in the vicinity in which you hunt. How do you justify making their lives a misery just for the debatable and wholly illegal sport you are so obviously determined to continue? How do you justify the churning up of bridleways, the disruption to neighbouring stables and livery yards, not to mention the upset to the horses nearby who go absolutely bonkers listening to the hounds and horn being blown all day long. It is just not fair on everybody else. You are all so selfish. You seem to think that because you want to hunt everyone else can go hang!! You do not have the support you think, yes amongst yourselves but you are a very small minority of the countryside, just a vey vocal and aggressive one.

 

[countess]

At least i can spell and be a yob!!!

 

[Muffin2]

You are obviously very young and not very bright to make such a silly comment, and "smirk" us not very clever is it. It proves you are everything I thought.

 

[Tinkerbee]

Golly...someones a little bitter


all the landowners allow us to ride on their land

we stick to field margins where appropriate and try not to churn up land

we fix any broken fences/walls etc

we bring in money to local area via hireling yards and B&B for visitors

It is a British tradition which many people (not just in the countryside) that many people love)

very small minority? I think not

 

[Muffin2]

You are so boring. You still haven't answered the questions I put to you or perhaps that is why you have lowered the replies to making childish retorts. I'm bored now, I was hoping to have some intelligent response from somebody but it just proves what I said in the beginning. I'm off to find some adult conversation.

 

[countess]

Luckily in our area its not that horsey so we dont "bother" people at all. Is that ok?

 

[Tinkerbee]

darling, I have answered..

:grin:

 

[Muffin2]

Ha ha, what about the upset to local people. I'm not bitter, I'm just pissed off with silly comments about tradition. You still haven't answered the question about the upset you cause to neighbouring horse owners. I know for a fact that a lot of tenant farmers are terrified to not permit the hunt on their land, even though they hate the damage they cause. I have lived in three different hunting countries and in each case they have upset the locals with damaging gates, fields, livestock and local people. It IS a small minority, you cannot say any different, I know for a fact that all the posters generated by the CA very much exaggerated the support by people for hunting I can assure you that the hunt around here does not stick to field margins and they certainly don't make good any damage they do. My horse was out of work for 3 months because the local hunt broke onto my land and galloped backwards and forwards passed my horses' paddock, sending her into orbit. They apologised and then did exactly the same the next week. This has happened to more than 3 of my friends in different hunt areas. How can you defend this?

 

[Muffin2]

You are obviously very self indulgent if that's the only comment you can make and I suspect a little naive. I still have not had a credible answer to how the hunts can justify damaging all the local bridleways and therefore ruining it for all the horse riders who don't hunt (which is most of them).

 

[countess]

As i have said where i am there are very few folk with horses that dont hunt, its hellish rural and we dont go where we have'nt got permission. Please tell me what's wrong with that.

 

[wurzel]

Why is it that tenant farmers are always so scared ?

 

[countess]

What on earth do you mean by that?

 

[wurzel]

What I mean is....... it is a common random assertion of the anti's, nearly always without foundation, that tenant farmers are ALWAYS somehow cowed by the local lord of the manor to accept illegal hunting on their farm or face the consequences.

The fabled consequences from your average anti would have the ex-tenant farmer expelled from his home, pushing a handcart full of belongings wife, and six babes in arms !!!

They seem to be stuck in 1841.

Funny old thing, the hunts around here are followed keenly bu Ag Labs, Cordwainers, Dairymen, Wet Nurses and all sorts of other domestic staff !!!!

I think Purdey will find that farmers, owners and tenants alike, are only terrified of one thing....this government.

But I will soon be able to laugh like all the others !!

 

[countess]

Very well put, around here most farms are tenanted but funnily enough most of those tenants hunt with us,(most of them host a meet!)

 

[wurzel]

Exactly !!!!

Isn't it strange ?

 

[countess]

Never will it be strange, just normal everyday life!!! ps.. i love living in the hills. R.I.P F&M

 

[wurzel]

Yes. And you have some big hills. bigger than ours. But I reckon ours are steeper !!!!

 

[countess]

Depends if your walking or on a quad! Never been to exmoor so ca'nt really say.
