Question to all you UK folks?

[Autumnbriar 0]

Will John Q Public see terrier work as hunting? Will they see coursing as hunting? Will they dismiss it as hunting? And leave those who hunt alone? Will they tolerate a dog with some hunting scares? Is there a real reason to worry about them linking cock fights and Pit fights to hunting with dogs?

 

I very much disagree with Patrick stating that Terrier work and Coursing is seen as a form of hunting.

I was under the understanding that certain forms of hunting have been stopped. And if is was "Hunting" as you so state then why was it stopped?

Aumtumnbriar: what it means is that we can no longer hunt anything except rats and rabbits with lurchers, terriers or hounds! Hare coursing is gone, stag hunting is gone, fox hunting is gone!!

You can use 2 hounds or dogs to flush those animals to a gun, but that's it! Of course you can kill any unprotected wild mammal with a bird of prey or a gun.

That is now the law in this country.
