Calf savaged and disembowled by a pack of hunting hounds?

Bet it was a fox!

If we have a still born calf you can guarantee that foxes or feral cats will have dined on it before the disposal man gets here, generally the following morning.

Exactly! and can you imagine the hunt all standing round watching the hounds eat the calf they have just killed while the LACS monitors watch as well?

Such blatant lies!

I find it very difficult to believe that not one LACS person there had a mobile phone with a camera on it. Impossible, in fact. That calf had been dead a long time before they pictured it.

The hunting debate is not helped by nonsense like this, is it?

Indeed it isn't cptrayes and let's not forget that it is these monitors and this organisation that claim that 66% of hunts are breaking the law. It's quite obvious that they are telling porkies re the calf, how are we to believe the rest of what they say?

This is the problem with lying, it undermines one's credibility don't you think?

No pack of hounds would dare touch anything that isn't a fox (unless dead already!) the packs that I hunt with if the hounds so much as go after a hare there is someone on the hounds gathering them back up.
Hunt sabs need to sod off and let us get on with enjoying our sport and meeting up with our friends.

We all know this is a load of nonsense, but if they actually did see this happen, why would they stand back and watch? And if it's ok to stand back & watch the hounds to kill & eat a calf, why is it so wrong for the fox? A little hypocritical me thinks ??!!

Yeap and how casually and incompetently they lie. They know they have dropped a clanger - a friend of mine from facebook left a comment about how obvious it is and they have refused to publish it.

Erm......I've only been hunting 4 times in my life, all post-ban.

Every time i've been, there has been some balaclava-wearing yobs following us and capturing our every move on film. I therefore find it extremely hard to believe that none of them had a camera on them!

You're right - but the problem is that they get a headline!! I recall one notorious incident (which was actually very helpful in persuading the then CE of the LACS that his colleagues were liars and cheats) when LACS video APPEARED to show hounds pulling a stag down. The video stopped JUST before a hound took a bite (Oh YEAH!)

Fortunately the incident had also been filmed by a hunt supporter who DIDN'T cut his film at the split second hounds (unable to stop) ran OVER the stag which had fallen due to huge quantities of wire trailing from its antlers (the reason it was hunted - it was in a bad way).

Hounds never touched the stag except for a few which momentarily touched it with their feet as they ran over it - stopping 20 yards on!

So the LACS video was a total lie. Unfortunately, they got it on the news and we didn't get the supporter's footage until the next day. By then it was too late - it was old news!

Some classic quotes on facebook from antis claiming that this is the hunts are using a loophole in the Act because it only bans hunting a WILD animal.

Firstly I dont hunt (although worked in hunt kennels when I was ooh, 17 & am 37 now). I can appreciate various points of view to hunting, but was & will always be anti-ban. These types of claims, (which in good faith we click in & then discuss in forums like this) only suffuce to further advertise these groups.

If a link such as this has no video to back it up, best idea (IMO) is to ignore it & not give it any discussion or airtime.

I disagree scotia where they are clearly lying they should be outed. This casts doubt on other claims they make and does LACS no favours.

It would take a while to do that much 'damage' to the calf, hounds would not have long enough to eat it to that extent, as the master would surley have caught up with them by then! And no hunt can afford to have hounds that go round attacking farm animals, as we need to keep the farmers on our side!!!

I could be wrong but i agree that the calf does look long dead but also looks like it has no eyes, so if it wasnt the crows that got them, then hounds are getting very smart nowadays!! :shocked:

Nice to see that some hunters think that - shame they all don't!!!!

I know, Im a farmers daughter, and have grown up being taught that whilst you are hunting, you are a guest on someone else's land. I think lots of people forget this!! Without the farmers we couldnt hunt, so we must not forget them.
