Is it fair game to post boat races on opposing forums?

[DanielDBates]

Is it OK to post photos of people on opposing websites? For instance, the anti websites have lots of photos of hunters, some hunt sites have photos of antis. Is this tactic OK, fair game etc, or is it wrong and shouldn't be practised?

But most pros post photos of pros and most antis post photos of torn up animals...

It's all down to personal taste. I'm not ashamed of being pro, and i know people on here not ashamed of being anti - we would post our own photos on opposition sites! i'd not waste the bandwidth on some antis, I'd rather put up a photo of some of my gorgeous hounds.

don't understand the anti obsession with dead animals though. Surely it should be the pros boasting about how they were torn to shreds? unless the antis love it really, but are in denial...

You don't really stand by them remarks, surely?

I dunno... think about it, some of them even trawl through websites such as moochers to find the photos of animal suffering in there...

Antis do seem awful proud of their kill photos. you see the same old same old all the time, reused and reused, spread around the internet like fleas in a dog show, but they never seem to get any new ones...

It's always struck me as odd, tbh.

I always wondering about that. You would think they wouldn't want anything like that near them.

 

[DanielDBates]

Indeed they may trawl the hunting sites in search of shock value photos, but to suggest pros should boast about torn to shreds photos, is ignorant.

However, I do know where you are coming from, I think.

Antis look for shock pictures so they can shock cyber surfers who happen on their websites, hoping they will 'think it cruel' to kill with dogs.

 

[Doreys_Mum]

Aye, but whats more shocking is the fashion of those not mounted...

They're blatently all from the 80s...

Did hounds stop killing animals in the 90s?

I am quite happy for people to know I am pro-hunting, I don't make any attempts to hide my identity, my face or where I hunt. I don't think it is a worthwhile tactic to 'name and shame'; the information is so often incorrect and the comments childish. At the end of the day the major protagonists will know the main players on the opposing side, so it really isn't necessary.

What I absolutely can't abide is the sites like the Surrey Anti-Hunt Campaign who listed pubs which host meets, names and addresses of hunt officials listed from Baily's and worse still the parents and grandparents of hunt staff. They encouraged people to make their anti-hunt feelings clear. Many of the parents listed had no hunting connections, although some did.

Here is an example of their works: http://www.animalrights.net/archives/year/2002/000025.html
