¡me rindo!, ¿qué es el punto de tentativa de ayudarle?

I think someone really needs to clean this board up if you are ever going to get a repeal on the ban. You make your own bed......

It is not dead....yet, and you know that too. The fact it says 'in the process of being killed' matters not whether it is legal or not or what country it is in. The reason that sentence is in the guidelines is to prevent objectionable images being posted that may be used by anti's against certain field sports. Hard work this is, I would hate to be a mod on this site. What does it take to get through?

My point exactly, or at least I think that is what you say. If you presented a more humane face to hunting, as this board tries to do, you might not have had such opposition to hunting with dogs in this country. Why do you think people were against it, one look on here is enough to make any average person think it is not the most humane method, beside the fact that there seems a terrible amount of 'pleasure' derived from it. The less the general public see the less they will be likely to object. It is common sense. This sort of thing should be shared privately if it has to be shared. No I am

Yes I do know what a Coyote is and what it can do, and I know the many reasons for killing them. What I object to is clicking on a thread which says Coyote pics and seeing this sort of thing. It is in the process of being killed by several dogs, not everyones cup of tea, but you don't know till you open the thread. The forum guidlines specifically state "As another note images showing quarry in the process of being killed will be moderated, this is not the done thing on a forum open to the world...At a time when government are trying to tighten the laws further on all fieldsports, its all

Yes I prefer shooting as a means to kill humanely, and I also prefer not to post every single photo of every gory detail of anything I have killed. If it was a pest I shot it, no need for photos....if it was for food I ate it, no need to photograph every meal either. You seem to enjoy the blood too much? Go piss up your own rope you arrogant Yank. You post on a public forum then can't take any criticism, do you think everyone will pat you on the back?

Maybe so, but it's only fuel for the anti's fire. I do not think that is the face of hunting that this forum wants to promote.

That is gross. Is it hunting or slaughter. I know Yotes are a pest in the US but is it necessary to show them being ripped apart by 4 dogs. This is the sort of thing that lead to the ban in the UK isn't it? Read the notes at the top of this page.

The only thing politicians like placed in their hand is money I think they would take you more seriously if you posted it, it may look like an act of desperation otherwise. Just my opinion, anything is worth a try I suppose but if you show weakness to these people they will only exploit it and probably use it against you.

That is terrible, have you thought about some cheap dummy cctv cameras? They may be enough of a deterrent.

I hope that is the dog's tail

I can't comment on the TB side of the problem but one thing I have noticed in England, compared to Spain, is the sheer amount of road traffic fatalites. Only yesterday I counted 20 pheasants, 6 partridges, 1 barn owl, 1 tawny owl, 1 buzzard, 1 kestrel, 2 foxes, 1 badger, 7 rabbits, 3 muntjac deer, 1 grey squirrel, 1 polecat and several unidentified remains during one 20 mile drive across countryside roads. I can only guess the reason for more badgers(or any animal) killed on roads today is the constantly growing volume of traffic on British roads plus the many who drive too fast on country roa

Thanks, I thought that may have been the case. So, when out flying a hawk or eagle in the UK is there a danger of it killing non-target species? What do you do here if for example it takes a protected species? Do you have to report it to your authorities or do you just say

Thanks Derek, I have no experience of captive bred raptors, only wild birds. I would then wonder if a captive bred eagle is psychologically different to a wild bird in the fact that in this instance the captive bird attacked a wild one, or as far as I can tell from the video. Does a captive bred/raised Golden Eagle, for example, know it is a Golden Eagle or able to recognise it's own species?
