Question #2 for LACS

[Ereiam_jh]

What is the ordinary English meaning of 'to hunt'.

 

[allijudd]

At the moment I think it depends on what day it is! LOL

 

[LACS]

Let me answer by illustration: I think stag hunting is hunting. You know, the activity which you concede is cruel yet would allow under the Giles Anti-Cruelty Act.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

What about searching?

You completely misunderstand the nature of the law I am proposing, it wouldn't be up to me wether stag hunting was allowed under the act. It would be up to the courts to decide whether or not it was cruel.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

What about dispersing? Is that hunting?

How about flushing an animal out? The law says that is exempt hunting, is it even hunting in your view?

 

[LACS]

"It would be up to the courts to decide whether or not it was cruel."

And in exactly the same way it's up to the courts to decide whether an activity is hunting or not. Thank you.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

No it's not. It's up to them to decide whether something is flushing out. The law defines flushing out as hunting, even though we agree in reality it isn't.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

You actuall beleive it's legal to deliberately flush out mammals with a pack of dogs. Do you know what you are talking about?

I thought the limit was two.

 

[LACS]

I refer you to my latest reply on the thread "Question for LACS".

 

[Ereiam_jh]

Can I legally chase deer with dogs?

 

[LACS]

Hunting with dogs is illegal unless one of the exemptions has been satisfied. It's really very simple.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

Is it legall to flush out a deer from cover with say twenty dogs?

The ;law says flushing out is hunting?

What is your understanding of the word hunt?

 

[Hercules]

Surely AA is not satisfying the criteria set for the exempt form of hunting that is classed as flushing.

Why hasn't he been prosecuted?

 

[Ereiam_jh]

I use four dogs, don't shoot the deer.

I've even attempted to flush out deer at the LACS sanctury, without permission not to protect crops while being videoed by twenty hunt monitors.

There does seem to be something a little awry with this law.
