On Front Of The Sunday Times

[Guardain12]

Hi,

I scanned this off the front of todays Sunday Times, thought I would share it, it scares me thinking where my lively hood is going to end up, I mean how bloody dear they threaten our sport by doing this, there must be something that can be done to nipe it in the bud, clearly the countryside alliance doesn't give a ****, their just happy getting their new members and when you look at the article who has ever heard of of a Bengal taking down a fox. People are so ignorant to things they dont understand next there will be photos in the newspapers with fox hunters holding little owls. They are dragging falconers through the dirt. Sorry for rambling on, but it just really ****es me off.

What a farce! How is an owl going to catch a fox?:twisted:

[Pitbull]

so is this classed as hunting with dogs or bop. if bop does this kind of meeting need a liscence from defra, if so that came through quick

[LeighJauncey]

There was also something in the Mail - Huntsman paying £10k for an Eagle owl or other bop! Then the hounds flushing it so the bop can "rip it to pieces". It would be laughable if it wasn't for the fact that Joe Public believes every word.

And the bad this is it's going to get worse before it gets better:mad:

That South Durham hunt needs some talking too, they have managed to get on to the bbc, times etc with that bloody owl. I am assuming it is because they hunt in Tony B-Liars constituancy.

The guy handling it hasnt a clue and it breaks my heart to see the poor thing crouching on his glove and him throwing it about to get it to stand up.

What a bloody advert for falconry eh?
