Where does it say you are?
If I have said that in other threads it is probably because of comments made that sound just like everard/Giles but as for the emails/posts posted by everard I can pass them on to CA
I don't pretend anything.
I don't think the law goes far enough to protect animals from people but I also agree that shooting a deer that has been flushed/chased is not right BUT flushing/chasing on purpose should be against the law.
Flushoing deer out of a wood merely involves making them run out of the wood. That's whjat deer do when they become aware of dogs in a wood. They get flushed out by them.
Do you think flushed out deer should have to be shot or not?
"Do you think flushed out deer should have to be shot or not?"
HOW MANY F***ING MORE TIMES?????
"I also agree that shooting a deer that has been flushed/chased is not right"
PLEASE STOP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN ANSWERED BY ME ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS.
"Flushoing deer out of a wood merely involves making them run out of the wood. That's whjat deer do when they become aware of dogs in a wood. They get flushed out by them."
"How do you think it is possible to take dogs into a wood without flushing any deer out that are in the wood?"
If you go out with the intent to flush/chase then I believe this should be illegal and people should be arrested for it, if you do not intend to flush/chase (you are just walking your dogs and deer run away) AND you stop your dogs from chasing I don't see how that can be illegal.
Like I have said before, Giles (and/or his many other names on here and other forums) has a point about the shooting of the deer BUT when he says he is going to do it (intent) and when he even takes his dogs to someone elses private land to do it he should be arrested.
So let me just get this right then. If I walk into a wood with my dogs disturbing wild animals then wether that is or isn't illegal or not purely depenmds on what I intend? The sole difference between wether my actions are perfectly legal or wether in order to make them so I have to shoot dead all the wildlife i disturb to stay within the law depends on what I am thinking?
What do I have to think then?
"I do not intend to flush out any wild animals today"
Is that what I have to do to save the wildlife?
Sorry Wrighty I took my dpgs out this morning and thought "ooo I intend to flush out a deer"
Just wondering. Deer seem to be panic-stricken by anything that moves, so if you went walking in the woods and flushed a deer out personally, are they any more scared than if dogs were doing the flushing?
Its amazing how much bollocks some people come out with and how much they don't read what is put.
Anti, seeing you don't bother taking in anything I put I won't bother putting any more on that subject unless you come up with anything new.
Well wrighty I went out with the intention of flushing deer.
You go on about how you 'won't stop' until there is no cruelty or some bollocks. Did you report me to the police then if you think what I do is so cruel?
So, which particular bit of bollocks are you referring to here? I was merely pondering. Or have I got it completely wrong and deer are only scared (into a state justifying shooting them) by dogs......
