How about poison and self locking snares?
Next they'll makes rat and mole traps illegal. Then shooting and then even fishing. Soon we'll have to watch where we tread.
See the difference now Luke?
That's not to say I don't check their websites to see what kind of obscenities and bullshit they're spreading.
I don't know what the editorial of the Guardian says... I find myself agreeing with the Independent more these days.
The breaking of the law in relation to fox-hunting is done by elements on both sides so hunters cannot claim to be victimised. I was happy to see my wishes achieved by democratic process.
Have a problem with the law go and vote for change. Simple as. I'm sure even those bloodthirsty scumbags can work that one out but hey they seem to think the laws not for the likes of them. Lock 'em up I say. :yes: :hyper:
Can we assume that cannabis smoking for instance, not being as important as murder, theft and rape, will be completely ignored by our wise police?
Presumably I can have a party tonight and keep the music at maximum volume all night, safe in the knowledge that the police has more important things to attend to than to ensure my neighbours don't get woken up?
:rolleyes:
Not if your playing repetitive beats :shocking:
Our local force have made similar noises, funny how they manage to find two van loads to sit outside a pub in Yeovil last weekend where football fans were drinking. Incidents of football violence between Yeovil and Bristol Rovers in recent years = 0 Real priority there :chin:
Strange that they managed to find the manpower to bust illegal parties eh :rolleyes:
Yeah I have, I used to be one. I got sick of the extreme violence from the hunt and the sexual assaults from hunt followers on female sabs and the police taking the hunts side. Fucking sick wankers.
you're lying
I'd not have banned it.
I'd rather the news had time for more important issues, such as the one this overshadowed.
i was under the impression that this hasnt changed anything coz all the hunters need to do is take responsibility for two dogs each as each hunter can hunt with two dogs and there is nohing saying that hunters cant all go out together?
also if the dog catches the fox they will probably have ripped it apart by the time the guns are out?
I'm sure Globe will be happy to make the necessary arrangements
The geezer I go shooting with now used to go hunting when he was younger. He's assures me that back in the 80's there were plenty of incidents he witnessed where hounds fed doped up meat.
Sometimes the sabs would just tip the meat on the ground at the start of a hunt.
Hmmm - you "know" something that turns out to be a rumour.
And "poisoned" has suddenly changed to "doped up"
:wave:
Neither a rumour or a lie. I'm sure you will believe what you like and I really couldn't give a fuck.
Same thing.
So, how many dogs were killed by this poisoned meat then?
And which hunt was it?
It is, after all, perfect propaganda. Must be recorded somewhere. No?
Inverted snobbery coming from a right winger :eek: .
I've seen it all now LOL.
Come of it mate. How many times have the ALF laced and contaminated food for human consumption? Do you think of they'd have any trouble doing feeding hounds laced meat?
Back in the late 80's I think you'll find that a large number of supposed 'sabs' were actaully 'anarchists' and 'hooligans' out for the trouble.
Okay, so we're stuck in the realm of unsubstantiated rumour .....
and your rather blinkered view of the left
anyone seen a yawn smilie?
The ALF never actually contaminated any food.
Yes a lot of sabs are anarchists. So what? I'm telling you that sabs don't ever do that sort of thing.
And you can speak for ALL of them over the last 20 years can you?
This argument goes round and round and gets nowhere. You've got your legislation but I'm telling you it's going to be as effective as making cannabis illegal. In other words - it aint going to work.
Yes. I know what ALF tactics are. Announce that they are going to contaminate something, send in one example to a newspaper but don't actually contaminate any others. The company then has to withdraw the whole range to be safe, costing them lots of money. It's called economic sabotage.
I don't think it will work either. And I don't really care that much. I just wish the pro-hunt lobby could be honest occasionally.
This law isnt going to do anything, thousands and thousands will still hunt and if people believe the police are going to be able to make arrests and gather evidence that will stand up in court they must be dreaming?
Ill be you a few hunt sabs get shot tomorrow though lol
More important things would be:
Going to burglaries
Patrolling the streets
Policing the streets at kicking out time
Arresting the drug dealers
Finding/Stopping stolen cars
Comforting victims of nasty assaults.
Cannabis smoking won't be ignored, because most arrests for posession of cannabis occur because some idiot has been stopped for causing trouble, or has been arrested for another offence and searched.
We've got to goto a hunt today, and I wish we didn't. The entire area is going to suffer as a result due to the lack of available resources.
Fox hunting has only been pushed through because of popular opinion.
NO THOUGHT whatsoever has been put into the policing aspect. How are we supposed to follow them and ensure they're acting within the law, within ten minutes they'll be a mile away over muddy fields.
Unless they give us scrambler bikes, we aint.
Fat chance methinks.
If the law is to be upheld, the law is to be upheld. I find this selective policing highly suspicious.
At least with drug taken there is no victim. Last time I looked, there has to be a victim in animal cruelty cases. It looks as good a case for police to intervene as any.
