So is chasing illegal?

[cevans]

.... and what do foxes do because the one who go in my friends rearing pen certainly wasn't there for a nice chat.

42 headless pheasants, blood everywhere and funnily enough ... none taken away? Sounds to me like the fox didn't dig in because he was hungry

 

[Peta]

Hardly: the use of terriers to kill foxes has been severely restricted by the Hunting Act, Rocks. You may or may not occupy the less baboon-like end of the terrierman spectrum, but you must know that many of your colleagues encourage their dogs to fight the fox. That´s why their terriers sustain injuries, sometimes fatal ones.

You could say to a black man 'You may or may not occupy the more crack dealerish end of the black man spectrum', you'd be a rascist. You couls say to a woman 'you may be more or less of a whore' and you'd be a sexist.

What does that make you peta?

 

[CARREG]

Fact; terrierwork is still legal, restricted but legal, are all train spotters colleagues, stap collectors are they all colleagues...stop it PetaL youre killing me...lol...........Carreg

 

[Peta]

I wonder how many "digs" conducted by your pals are legal i.e. all the gamekeepe conditions have been satisfied? Not many: that's why the public cannot read internet terrier sites like Moochers. The terriermen are frightened of implicating themselves.

 

[CARREG]

All my "pals" work their terriers legally, there are dozens of sites like Moochers on the internet that are open to the public, and if I were afraid of implicating myself I'd hardly be admitting to working my terriers on a forum frequented by antis, you like most of the antis on here know nothing of real terrierwork other than what you've been spoonfed on internet sites...................Carreg

 

[Peta]

Why can't the public read posts on Moochers? It looks as if you've got something to hide because, well, you're hiding it.

 

[CARREG]

Moochers is a site for people who hunt, work terriers, lurchers, ferrets, birds of prey ...etc, there is no forum on the site for debate because that isnt what it was set up for, if it looks like I have something to hide well I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, cant see me losing much sleep over it tho..........Carreg

 

[Peta]

Who mentioned debate? I didn't! If you don't want antis on there that is of course your prerogative. Why not allow members of the public to read what your pals are talking about, even if they can't post? Looks to me, Rocky, as if you've got something to hide.

 

[CARREG]

Okie dokey fella you got me bang to rights...lol...........Carreg

PETA,

To sum things up:

You don't like terrier work - don't do it then.
You don't like hunting - don't participate then.
You don't like the 'sort' of person who hunts - don't converse with them then.
You don't understand or know anything about the realities of hunting - don't express an opinion on it, you make yourself look stupid.

It's quite simple really. Now bore off.
