1/4 Grown Rabbits A Bonus ......

[lurcherman 887 13,425]

So socks do you use just nets during the summer when grounds hard or still use the jukels?

I'm not on the wind up .

theres a difference between rats in a house and quarter grown rabbits in a field.

The difference between ferreting for work and ferreting for sport is that the money will make you do things that ethically you wouldn't do if you weren't getting paid.

to me it's a dangerous mindset if money steers your judgement.

To me and anyone I know that hunts killing young or killing at all in summer is a no no and people won't hunt with you and you'd get a bad name.

they get enough of a hammering by the droves of lurcher men and shooters during season.

but you seem to think that because someone gives you pounds that all of this is null and void

.iv never caught rabbits that small on the lamp and I lamp a lot.maybe because there not out on the land much during winter.

The mercenary bit-if I went to fight for a foreign force opposed to my country it would be wrong

So if they paid me to fight it would still be wrong regardless of what bills i had.

for me I can't morally use wages for justification for my actions.

extinguishing life shouldn't be something you profit from

THIS IS A RIGHT LOAD OF TATERS.

I work my dogs hard I don't give them quarter grown rabbits with the help of a ferret.i give em winter hares on big land.

so its alright to break the law when hunting but is morally wrong to hunt within the law and catch young rabbits that the landowner wants rid of?

[walshie 2,804]

I don't get this. If socks didn't do what he did for a living, firstly he wouldn't earn any money and secondly someone else would do it. Now that doesn't make any sense at all.

 

Take the moral high ground all you want, but if a man needs to feed his family, good on him.

We could say the same about a lot of things that shouldn't be done.

I'm not saying rabbit control is bad I'm saying killing rabbits that young and during summer aswel is bad even if you are getting paid for it

[kevin kiely 66]

It's legal for me to course hares

[Tiercel 6,986]

Kevin,

 

Your frazes mate are you not? I can understand why you would think like that, but rabbits have to be controlled, it really is that simple, if it goes against what you believe is right then don't do it. There are places where it would not be possible to let every Tom Dick or Harry on to control the rabbits. It could just be one rabbit in a garden or hundreds in an oil refinery it makes no difference.

no its not , hare coursing has to be done under license and they only grant licences to hunt hare to the coursing clubs and hound packs
