Why was i never there....?

Just found this on LACS website

"Every hunting season there were scores of incidents - some trivial, but many serious - of 'rioting' (out-of-control) hounds invading private property, damaging crops, stampeding and killing livestock, running through gardens, killing pet cats and dogs and causing accidents on roads and railway lines. There were incidents of hounds invading private homes, diving through open windows and doors and scattering throughout the house. Many such incidents were never recorded in the media because hunt officials, eager to avoid bad public relations, were quickly on the scene to apologise and offer compensation."

It all sounds very exciting! Hounds diving through windows?? Sounds more a like a script from an "X men" film! :grin:

 

[LACS]

Perhaps not the best-timed intervention on your part, bucks.

 

[buckybee]

Suposse I'd best leave this forum to you boys with your serious debating.

 

[severnmiles]

Serious? How do you suppose we debate seriously with the likes of Karl in the vacinity?

 

[flying_change]

You mean that hounds dont ever riot ? Even pros will admit that this happens.

 

[LACS]

No! Stay! I'm sorry!

 

[Clodagh]

I shall speak to our huntsman ASAP, I want our hounds to be able to dive through windows too.

 

[flying_change]

Just make sure they are opened first......

 

[Clodagh]

Couldn't they wear flak jackets and carry stun grenades?

 

[flying_change]

Only the SAS hounds can do that.

 

[brighteyes]

These are the debates I really like! Glad to see GSOH occasionally.

 

[flying_change]

Ah, but I never said what SAS stands for.......

The Royal Anglian Hounds take exception to this blatant discrimination and prejudice...we're just thinking of a suitable slogan for our correx board!

 

[Doreys_Mum]

Bundle once dissapeared into someone's house... fortunatly it was the host, so nobody minded!

But it's the only time anything like that happened in 4 years with that hunt....

 

[combat_claire]

One of our beagles wandered off during morning exercise, was picked up by a member of the public and ended up at the local animal shelter...does that count?

Back in 1979 the Fife had to restock a whole henhouse tout sweet and buy a cat breeder two choc pointed siamese. It does happen but is hushed up almost all of the time. Now had it been the antis.....!!!!!!!! Mairi. :smirk:

 

[severnmiles]

You antis get away with just as much, and you know it

 

[Fairynuff]

Sorry, you cant lob me in with the rest of em. Ive never done more than express my opinion on the subject, till today that is. I think you may have mixed the antis up with the sabs-now ther I would agree with you. M.

 

[combat_claire]

I'm sure we've all seen the cartoon of the Sabs running over a fox they were trying to save!

 

[Clodagh]

We used to get more kills on the days the antis were out, heading the fox back into the pack was a steady little number!

 

[flying_change]

OK, OK, the ROAN hounds can do it too......

 

[combat_claire]

They are delighted, especially as there had been no suitable slogan devised for the protest boards! Training will commence Tuesday!

 

[flying_change]

As it's just training, deffo start with the lowest windows and deffo open them first !

 

[combat_claire]

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to pass that onwards and upwards..

I think they are exercising hounds on horses now, bikes must have proved too tricky for the hounds to balance on!

 

[buckybee]

and the diving? i think they might need a pint, or a l**e of c**e!!

 

[flying_change]

Well if they cant manage bikes, they'll have a lot of difficulty in the helicopters.....

 

[brighteyes]

Only because it's too tricky operating the radio with their paws and the headsets cover their ears. Come on now....

 

[combat_claire]

The RAF have agreed to help out..the hounds can just be passengers!

 

[flying_change]

Excuses, excuses.......

 

[flying_change]

RAF... great bunch of chaps !!
