I have not suggested that the law is perfect, or indeed sufficiently strong enough to deal with the criminality we see from the Hunting Fraternity.
However, it is an important first step, despite Tory and Pro-Hunt attempts to block the legislation. Never again will hunting be the way it was and sadly for the Fraternity it will only get worse.
I must away to bed now, however I will pick this up tomorrow and deal with Tom Faggot and purile utterances
I believe that if your purpose is to hunt and kill the Deer then shooting them once flushed is preferable to setting Dogs on them.
If however, you are out for a stroll and startle some Deer, then letting them escape would be the most advisable course of action. The Act would not apply to you in those circumstances I can assure you.
And just to be sure when the law says that the animals sholuld be shot. That's just plain wrong is it, so that bit of the law should just be ignored?
Could you go through which sections you think sholuld be obeyed and which ones it's alright to break as far as you're concerned..
You'd be happy for Tony wright to break the law by flushing out the foxes with a whole pack, happy for him to obey it by shooting the fox and then unhappy with him breaking it by chasing the fox.

How many times must you be told? My position has been stated quite clearly.
I'm still waiting for a word or two from old Tom_Faggot - I was told today that he was a slippery little worm from the dark ages over on the BBC boards by someone there.
Praise The Lord! That you should find one iota of my posts even slightly entertaining is bread & butter to me.
"But still nothing about hunting."
But hunting's DULL. Stultifyingly tedious in the extreme. Chasing small furry mammals around the countryside with the express intent of preserving them to hunt another day is something I am happy to exclude from my life.
"I take it you have given up."
Good for you. Take what you like.
"The focus on my avatar really cuts me to the quick townie."
That's great. But I'm not exactly "focussed" on it. It's a passing diversion at best. Vaguely amusing, but it doesn't occupy my every waking moment.
I'm just glad I didn't choose such an outrageously camp avatar, then feel compelled to keep it out of indignant pride in the face of stinging ripostes!
The longer you keep it, the sillier you look - if that's possible.
