The Countryside Alliance is selling outfits bearing the slogan "Born to Shoot" for - wait for it - children aged from 0-6 and 6-12 months old. (There's a rumour that they're also producing a child's monkey outfit with "Born for Terrierwork" on it.)

Still, at £15 a go, the profit on it should pay for at least - oooh -5 seconds of time for the CA's legal team fighting the ban in the courts. Money well spent!

Beaufort,

Have bought two - 'Born to Hunt' and 'Born to Shoot'.

Child looks very smart in said attire. Money well spent and I can afford it. Problem?

How lovely. The poor kid doesn't stand a chance.

I'm not sure what's more worrying, that or this:

I mean, would you like to receive that in your post this Xmas??

 

[Beaufort]

Bet it's made in China.

 

[Beaufort]

What the f*** are they on the Christmas cards??!

 

[Paul T]

Is it worth launching a poll to find out?

 

[severnmiles]

Aww, times like this I wish I had a little one...I'd have bought him the 'Born for terrierwork'!

£15.00? You're making it sound expensive, have you seen the price of baby clothes recently? Having a nephew and niece I can tell you £15.00 isn't overpriced!

Or why not treat yourself to a "I was there - Declaration Day, 1st November 2003" commemorative badge? It is, after all, a lot easier to sign a declaration and wear a badge about it than actually honouring it.

I've suspected he had a defected gene or two for sometime.

By continuing to hunt, all hunts are honouring their commitment. The problem that you vermin have is proving whether or not the hunts continue to do so.

 

[Beaufort]

temper temper, Hercules!

 

[Hercules]

No bad temper, it is fact. Whilst tapping away on the key board I am happilly remembering this morning's hunting - 2 and a half brace accounted for. Young hounds entering well and it is looking very good for some excellent sport this season.

 

[Beaufort]

Which is your hunt, Hercs?

 

[Hercules]

Where I hunt is irrelevant. Choose any of the 300 or so registered packs and their activities will be much the same.

 

[Beaufort]

We'll wait for you big friend AA to return. Perhaps when he's here to look after you you'll feel a bit bolder.

 

[SSM]

Well you've just solved my problem of what to buy everytime friends have babies - a 'born to hunt' and the tiniest jods I can find - THANKS :grin:

 

[AlanE]

So where are you then, Beaufort...not hiding behind PO numbers like the risible 'Huntwatch' are you?

 

[Hercules]

''We'll wait for you big friend AA to return''

Post your home address and I will call around and tell you personally who I hunt with.

 

[Beaufort]

Now now, no need to lose your temper again, Hercs.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

HuntWatch, I had a great laugh with them once, a real giggle.

 

[Hercules]

Huntwatch, what are they all about?

Ill educated, badly organised, confused and utterly ineffective.

However, on a bad scenting day they do provide some good sport.

These are genuine emails.

You couldn't make this up.

 

[Ereiam_jh]

I especially liked:

"We are prepared to wait until you get that perfect footage, just try harder."

What a bunch of t0$$ers!

 

[Ereiam_jh]

And "Yes we will always consider a private prosecution. We probably will take to police once we have seen the evidence. I'm sure they will listen to us."

These were the halcyon days immediately post ban when these dorks actually thought they had ... POWER!

 

[smilincow21]

I'm so plaesed that up here we have no members of huntwatch, no video cameras, or sabs. All we get are rude idiots who toot their horns when they pass, or attempt to run over hounds. And they say huntings cruel!

 

[Ereiam_jh]

I used to go Beagling before the ban. I turned up and ran to keep up with the hounds and enjoy the process of them hunting hares.

Now I'm a hunt monitor. I turn up and run to keep up with the hounds and enjoy the process of them hunting hares.

Still great fun.

All the Hunt masters should sign up to LACS and start monitoring their own hounds.

 

[Beaufort]

Get more sleep you nutter.

 

[Hercules]

''Get more sleep you nutter''

Beaufort,

Completely the opposite to you. It's about time that you woke up.

 

[Beaufort]

I hope AA gave you permission to say that.

 

[smilincow21]

I don't think I would ever sign up to LACS, I would feel I was being a backstabber to the hunting community. I don't agree with anything they have to say, after all hunting does a hell of alot for the countryside, fox population and community!
