As far as im aware this is not a recorded conversation under oathe,we haven't just tapped anyone on the shoulder its just an exchange of opinions on a web forum so i dont quite follow with the " minding my own business until someones business effects mine " As far as glass houses go well if you believe you take part in cruel practises with animals then yes i guess you shouldnt be calling them....if you dont then tell it how it is i dont know why folk are so didgy around calling a spade a spade. Showing dogs on the whole is cruel and unnecessary whether its Cocker Spaniels,Manchester Te

Yes it was in reference to yourself,Wilf....and anyone else who makes excuses for what is essentially a cruel and needless practise and as likeminded folk who share a love and respect for dogs i dont really understand your sentiments......whos talking about preserving dog breeds ? not me......i dont know enough about certain lines and strains of working dog breeds to comment on whether they are being improved or ruined............im talking about dogs on an individual basis not representatives of breeds and how they should act/look through the generations.....these people are purposely being c

Dunno whether that was partly in reference to my post. If so, I certainly don't support this stuff but equally I don't really give a toss. Simply it ain't any of my business or concern and I find it a little perplexing why some folk think it is the ruination of working breeds. To me the ruination of working breeds comes from every dogman finding something more suited to their job, leaving few interested in carrying on the breeding of the minority breeds. The deerhound used to be popular as a sighthound for big runs.... until the saluki came to this island. All sorts of terriers used to

There's one thing that has never quite summed up in my head regarding why a lot of folks get pissy about the KC and Crufts etc... Why does anyone care what the show fraternity do to their dogs? Working lines should be kept separate, as the different breed they are. Moaning about the show lot ruining a working breed just seems like moaning about your own lack of action. Gundogs & hounds have managed to thrive well enough in this 'new world', they got their house in order and managed to keep their lines separate and successful. Is it not true that a lot of these breeds that becam

Won't he be entitled to anything to pay his legal costs then ? I have no idea. You'd have thought so plus compensation for the trouble but based on the man's quote he didn't give that impression. Reckoned he'd need a loan and have to pay it back over a long time.
-
Great result, I thought so too...........oh wait, except he now has a £30k legal bill to pay! It should never have left the farmer's kitchen after a quick chat with the police. The dosey twats searched his farm for f***ing hostages FFS! Forensics, ARU, helicopter, the works!

Seriously....... you actually think they were there with a heart full of good intentions? no I defoe think they were on the rob I think I probably misinterpreted what you said then.

I knew this comment was going to come up and I disagree. That would give would be thiefs an excuse when on the rob. If your sneaking about someone's farm at that time in the morning then prepare to be shot.I'm pretty sure anyone poaching a few rabbits doesn't want to be anywhere near the farmhouse. I'm not sure it would tbh. To use such a level of force it's quite right that you have to reasonably be in fear of your life. Now you should absolutely be allowed to arm yourself when protecting your family or property, that doesn't give you free reign though to shoot on sight, only if the t
-
I hope you are right. But it should never get to this stage. If he wasn't a doddery old boy and instead was a strong rough type character who a jury might look on less sympathetically then he could easily be prosecuted and that's wrong. What he did any man/woman in a country that values individual liberty should completely support and explicitly and leniently be given the right to in law/the constitution. God I'm sick of listening to progressive types hark on about liberties for gays to marry and minorities to flourish when the most fundamental liberty in a democracy is being pissed on and

Personally I can't stress enough how highly I put the right for an individual to defend their family and property from violence, damage or theft. For me he should have been well within his rights to go out there with a f***ing Uzi! All this 'reasonable force' is all well and good in the court room, it's a different matter in the dark on your own faced with an unknown quantity! Like I said, this country expects people to be victims when we have a heritage of the opposite! It's outrageous! It's not even like the old boys suspicions of what he could be facing were unfounded. That piece of

There's no such thing as an all round cartridge in my book. Depending on what I'm after I'll have 30g#6, 32g#5, 40g#4 or 36gBB. Even depends what gun I have. I'm not much of a fan of shooting these RC HPFs out of my O/U (give me a headache! LOL) but they're great out the auto.

Thats a bit of a short sighted view in itself though as you will grow the market for the products and when you run out of stock, there will be a higher demand than ever, they should flood the market with fake horn (toe nail clippings) that would take the shine off these fancy parties once word got round they were drinking toenails Why would it necessarily grow the market? They're not increasing supply just taking the revenue from what part of it they can catch. And it's not a stand alone solution, it's a means of making things better than they are. It's all very well pretending that these t

It's a bit shit but peanuts compared to the two every day that are poached in SA's Kruger National Park. It does make me laugh that when hauls of black market horn and ivory are confiscated the result is to destroy them as some sort of symbol or statement. Far more sensible, although uncomfortable for the environmentalist sorts, would be to flood the market and consequentially conservation budgets with these confiscated gains. The market doesn't just disappear with lack of supply, it drives the price up making the risk of poaching more rewarding! It's time conservationists had a dose o

LOL, I'm not in a rush to watch it but it looks alright. Made me laugh when they said they would go swimming until they saw a great white nail a dolphin right by the boat, then they thought better of it!
