It didn't portray terrier work in a good light makes the standard of terriers look very poor all it's done is help a few cowboys look what they are. I think as a whole it will make lads wise up and bring a bit of common sense back around no phones no cameras nothing ta see or talk about here. 

I doubt that very much.As long as theres undercover reporters/antis out there doing this kind of work ther will be idiots lining up to give them all the material they need just to have their ego's stroked.

You have to laugh at the BBC's take on authenticity. It was the same when they aired the programme on street kids with killer dogs. You could tell this "street kid" was a token black actor. The company is a joke.

Anyone also remember their documentary on dog fighting? They had an undercover Geordie who fooled the Irish lads and Dunkel from Finland the little rat bag! God knows who he was but sure to god it can't have been that hard to smell the rat!

true mate, what ever you get up to with your dogs, should be only kept with mates that you known   for years, not  anybody else. it makes me laugh regards this thing with pigs been dug to etc, most cattle farmers etc  shoot the bloody things at night  , they dont need dogs  lol .  when we had the last F/M  in England    , some farmers have never stopped , most famers hate the things on there land , they rather have few foxes knocking about than them .!

Not watched it yet..... Heard the rumours who it was...... One word........ RETARDED!!! . mods should remove this now, before anything else is said

[dogmandont 9,312]

I don’t understand why it shouldn’t be discussed, this is the terrier section on a hunting site and a load of fcukwits have done proper terrierwork and terriermen a massive disservice. Sometimes the silence is deafening.

Just shows how desperate the simpletons must be to impress someone that theyre taken in by these undercover journalists.Its not that hard to work out dog lads that are reasonably new to the game an inexperienced so someone whose done nothing must be blatantly obvious.

[Rabbit Hunter 6,608]

As shocking as it was, I think the most alarming things were the general disregard they had for their dogs. The way they were kept for a start, in terrierboxes in bathrooms , piled up in cages in a flat, all them dogs chained up to anything remotely resembling a kennel on that farm yard. WTF was all that about? And then the lad that was carrying the dog around by it's tail!! I've never seen anything like it in my life.

That's what i was thinking, he was getting in with some of the Farmers Boys from what i recall. They also were onto a Gaelic football player.

[chesney 5,312]

It's done now they were caught the BBC got what they wanted just move on learn the lesson do your homework on strangers before an invite or just keep to a very closed circle. The genuine lads just have ta be that bit more careful as if it wasn't hard enough.

[Glyn..... 5,199]

i don't  think genuine lads have any thing to worry about all the lads i know work there terriers within the law , and since badger digging has all but died  out in the uk and judging by what i saw last night  i'm not surprised the dogs where poor at the job, they where not up to the job of illegally digging badgers because nearly 50 years have passed   since those bloodlines where around ,  careful reel your ego's in now lads we don't need anymore dumb ass quote from dumb ass wannabe's the likes of which we heard and saw last night 

but lets just put it in perspective 13 cases of badger digging in Wales  and england last year 
 

 

other crimes
Figures for year ending December 2017 Things to note Burglary   9% increase in police recorded offences (to 438,971) Burglary offences are thought to be relatively well reported by the public and relatively well recorded by the police and so the increase in police recorded burglary is likely to reflect a genuine increase. There was no change in burglary measured by the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), but if the increase continues, we would expect this to show up in the survey in due course. Computer misuse   28% decrease in offences estimated by the CSEW (to 1,374,000) Falls in computer misuse crimes were the main driver of the overall decrease in crime estimated by the CSEW. Reports to Action Fraud show an increase in computer misuse offences, but these data cannot be compared with the CSEW estimates as they reflect only a small fraction of all computer misuse and include offences against businesses. Fraud   No change in offences estimated by the CSEW (3,241,000) The CSEW provides the best indication of the overall trend in fraud as it captures the lower-harm cases that are more frequent but less likely to have been reported to the authorities. Homicide   9% increase in police recorded offences (to 653 – excluding terrorist attacks in London and Manchester and events at Hillsborough in 1989) The recent trend is affected by exceptional events with multiple homicide victims. While deaths resulting from the terrorist attacks and events at Hillsborough are included in the latest homicide figures, the figures presented in this table exclude these victims to provide a comparison on a more consistent basis. When the victims of these events are included in the figures, there was a 1% decrease in homicides recorded by the police (to 688). Robbery   33% increase in police recorded offences (to 74,130) Recording improvements are likely to have contributed to this rise, but the impact is thought to be less pronounced than for other crime types. Therefore, the increase may also reflect an element of a real change in these crimes. The CSEW does not provide a robust measure of short-term trends in robbery as it is a relatively low-volume crime. Vehicle-related theft   17% increase in offences estimated by the CSEW (to 929,000) A 16% increase was also seen in vehicle offences recorded by the police (to 452,683), continuing the rising trend seen over the last two years. Vehicle offences are thought to be relatively well reported by the public and well recorded by the police. Violence   No change in overall violent offences estimated by the CSEW (1,245,000) The CSEW provides the better measure of trends in overall violent crime, covering the more common but less harmful offences. Police recorded crime provides a better measure of the more harmful but less common violent offences that are not well measured by the survey because of their relatively low volume. These offences are thought to be relatively well recorded by the police.   22% increase in police recorded knife or sharp instrument offences (to 39,598 offences)   11% increase in police recorded firearms offences (to 6,604 offences)
