Budgets are to blame, though safety needs to remain PARAMOUNT so in my opinion the school is still to blame here. No chance they didn't know about the danger waaay before anything happened. I don't understand how something like this can be allowed to happen, yet kids can barely do anything now without health and safety finding a way to stop any freedom or fun.

Well as a country lass if I was in the area I'd be inclined to go show my support and let them know there are people other than antis out there who support the traditional butchers. As I said, Im lucky my butcher here still hangs games, and knowing the sort of gentleman he is, I'd absolutely die laughing if I could watch somebody tell him to take it down!
As for the women on about the pigs seeing pigs.... Its this very form on anthropomorphism that actually is damaging to animal welfare. Like the veggie that fed her cat fking vegetables till it nearly died. THATS cruel. I am pro animal welfare, don't get me wrong I'd be the first one to speak up if I saw genuine cruelty to animals. There is a difference between being cruel and the cycle of life. You can be a humane hunter, and thats what they cannot fathom. What gets the antis backs up with me is I will still go out and happily shoot fluffy the bunny in the head, take its guts out skin off and eat it with some nice herbs and a side dish. Because I am a meat eater, I was born that way, and I have a desire to hunt my own dinner. Which is a LOT better for animal welfare than me buying what may or may not be "chicken" from a mass farm somewhere in China.
It really pisses me off that they cannot see what I am doing it better for the fking animals!
He should have stuck to his guns.

Just glad the butcher in the Forest I use still has rabbits and pheasants up outside ad in the window. I would LOVE to see somebody tell him to take it down.

Market butcher forced to stop displaying meat and game because 'townies' object: Family firm targeted with anonymous hate mail because of carcasses hanging in the window- JBS Family Butchers spent hours each week perfecting window displays
- But it has been hit with anonymous hate mail and people hurling abuse
- Unplucked birds and pig or deer heads were hung up in the shopfront
- Assistant manager of butcher's in Suffolk says staff have been stunned
Not sure if its already been posted, but wow are people that disconnected from their food?! It fine if it has TESCO stamped across some miscellaneous grey meat matter drowned in breadcrumbs but god forbid you see the face of the creature your steak came from.
People are utterly ridiculous, Do they not understand you can't plat a flipping beef tree!

We have 5 chickens, and one gecko... Still trying to get her to retrieve and walk to heel....its taking some time but I'm sure I'll be coursing moths in no time.
Unless you count the flock of mallard and moorhens we have on the lake.

Heres my little toy. I have a few normal style catty's too but I seem to aim better with a side shooter. This is a gamekeeper my dad gifted me a number of years ago, plus a homemade furry catty pouch. Just need some tanned rabbit or squirrel skins to make a better one!
You sure thats a gamekeeper? ....
Doesnt look like one? ...
Nope not sure to be honest, Dad got it off ebay and it has a weird signature on it said he thought it was a gamekeeper.
I love it though, slightly smaller than my others for a more feminine hand!

Hello I am totally new to all of this but I am wanting to start and learn. I live in burnopfeild in Durham and am wondering if there is any clubs a can join to take up beating or and any advice.
Have you thought about contacting your local gamekeepers etc or joining the National Association of beaters?

WOW vets do charge a bomb don't they!!
Hope she comes around okay for you.

welcome to the forum.

Was a Husky-type I believe from the reports. They made a point of saying "not a banned breed"
When will people realise its not the breed you need to be concerned about, ANY dog has the ability to bite/maim/kill potentially. That poor child =(

I think stuff has changed within society. Kids are far more technological now. When I was at school you'd get gripe for not having the cool trainers or clothes, but now if you don't have an ipad ipod and iphone you get gripe. Thats a lot of money on the parents! So families have altered slightly too, both/parent/guardians are often at work longer, with the kids in either nursery or a club. As costs of living are higher now. This has lead to the dynamics of family changing, and with a higher population comes more risk, I must admit as I kid I'd run round and abandoned fort with my friends jumping in the stream that went through it and messing about in tunnels that could have collapsed at any second. I think I'd have heart failure if a kid I had was doing the same now. I never saw another soul there apart from other kids, but now, I'd imagine it as a druggies den or worse characters hanging around it.
So times have changed, but I don't think its an excuse not to involve kids in nature. Plenty of you lot on here have your kids out camping/hunting/exploring and thats great. I do feel its a shame children have lost some of their freedoms to do this stuff alone, but with the increased risks today you can't avoid that. If I had been caught up to mischief in the farmers fields as a child I may have had a bit of a bollocking but now they call the police on 10 year olds!
I have just got back from visiting my niece who though she is glued to her bloody ipad will drop it immediately if I say get ya wellies on lets go in the woods! Lucky she's the spitting of me as a kid, and will be up trees, splash in streams and not give a crap if she falls face first into three foot of mud. I hope it lasts out the teens!

Least their 4x4 and wellies will be used for what their designed for
You bloody beat me to it! Just came back from London and the sheer amount of expensive shiney 4X4's that have never so much as seen a splat of mud..
Mind you, I've seen some of them round here pulling life threatening jerks onto the opposite side of the road just to avoid a tiny crack in the road or half inch puddle. My flipping crapmobile punto has done more off roading.

Just got back from London, I was drinking Champagne right through Tower Hamlets to Kensington. Nobody told me to put it away, but then I don't think anybody would dare try and come between me and my first proper holiday off drink in three years...

Really enjoyed that! Good little spot you found! and Great shot vid too.

Do you have idea what could have caused the seizures?

=(, Oh man I really feel for the handler, he/she must be in turmoil as they must have such a bond with their animals. I hope the dog is rescued if viable. Poor f***ing thing.

Hunting ban repeal almost certain
Hunt ban repeal 'likely soon' - as long as the Scots don't get involvedBy TristanCork | Posted: May 15, 2015
Devon and Somerset Staghounds
The ban on hunting looks almost certain to be repealed – as long as the new army of Scottish National Party MPs keep their promise not to vote on English laws.
But repealing the ban on hunting could be the first issue to spark the division of the United Kingdom – if those SNP MPs do step in and vote with anti-hunt English and Welsh members.
A free vote on the Hunting Act was promised in the Conservative manifesto and sparked a huge number of hunt supporters to volunteer in their thousands to help campaign for Tory MPs across the West. But the early indications are that if a free vote was held it would be on a knife-edge – if the Scottish MPs joined in.
