Baiters or diggers as some like to be called.

 

Are you implying that there isn't a difference?

No

Erm..... miller, the article was a tiny slot on the front page Not the main story like you made out.... the show took center stage.... the paper covers almost every bloody arrest in the valley, as well as nearly everything else ffs, its not like it was going to avoid attention, but you should be giving the paper praise for not blowing the story out of proportion LIKE YOU HAVE!

 

The Hexham Courant, which publish weekly in Tynedale are a very good paper, and never portray hunting and fieldsports in a negative light, something which in this day and age we should be extremely proud of...

 

Miller, did you read the week before? The front page story was about the border hunt, and a tribute to the huntsman and his families long standing service to the hunt as well as fighting for the country in battles... the smaller caption was filled by a small story about a young female gamekeepers experiences..... HARDLY ANTI HUNT?????

 

And, as far as im aware, the aledged badger baiters, were exactly that and were baiting badgers for money, NOT diggers, and not something any huntsman or country sportsman would condone surely?
