johnny boy68 11,725 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 had a phone call of the police this morning asking for me and i said yeah that's me so he said just letting you know we're on our way down, (bit of an arse twitchier wondering wtf's up). they arrived and came in (arse still twitching), we've had reports that you have inappropriate pictures on your facebook profile so i asked what pictures and its hunting photo's of trips out with my 2 lads, holding dispatched game and the other holding my gun. they said its a serious matter and social services could be involved if it keeps up or i refuse to remove the pics so i removed them but advised them the pictures were taken on permission, its not against the law and in no way were they in danger ! i also told them that id rather them be into hunting and shooting rather than braking the law and getting in to pinching or drinking or some other illegal activity. but he said that's not the issue here and the problem is that the pictures were inappropriate and they are concerned in the welfare of the kids being brought up around guns there was no way in winning an argument with them so, just a word of warning and learn from my mistakes. WATCH WHAT YOU PUT ON HERE AND THE LIKES OF FACEBOOK I would've thought the pics of you nude in the snow with a gun would've raised more eyebrows !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Have a look at this: the Masai's traditional livelihood and land at risk from 'tourism': rich people hunting lions etc. Can you imagine if we weren't allowed to hunt at all so rich foreigners could come and kill our game animals for sport? http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/mar/30/maasai-game-hunting-tanzania Avaaz.org are doing a global petition to try and bring pressure to bear on the Tanzanian government. Like Paulus said, social media can and does change peoples' perception on how we should live. Problem being that we hunters are in the minority. What is a way of life to us is abhorrent to most. On a lighter note: one of my dogs caught a squirrel (purely by accident!) the other day: as I gingerly carried it from my van through the gate, carrying it by its tail: bloody thing was jumping with fleas, I belatedly noticed a plod car parked two doors up, and only then remembered that I had broken the law: Luckily they were interviewing a neighbour about a recent accident. But goes to show that what to me was something completely normal, and part of my day to day life, is now seen as a crime. But I still think that I'm better off than people who are being kicked off their land so others can hunt. P.S. In case anyone's wondering why I wanted to keep a flea-ridden squirrel: it went straight in the freezer as ferret food: nothing, or very little, is wasted in our house. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
