courser 73 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) As Chairman of the Association of Lurcher Clubs I have just finished a Conference call meeting with the Council of Hunting Associations(CHA) The subject was the Debate on Thursday next week off an amendment to the Hunting Ban. What will this mean? The amendment, as I understand it, will mean that hunts can use more than two hounds to flush a mammal (Fox or Hare) to waiting guns, which means that hunting with hounds will be able to carry on using a full pack. Until now a full pack could only be used for trail hunting. So it will then be legal for a full pack in pursuit of a fox/Hare. An acceptable amendment until a full repeal. How will this affect the Lurcher man? It means that you will be able to use Lurchers/Longdogs to course (Drive) an Hare to someone waiting with a legally held gun. As long as you have permission of the landowner, you will be able to carry on pretty much as before the ban. What we must do! Lobby your MP, be he /she Conservative or Labour and tell him you want him/her to vote for the amendment There is a E-lobby faculty on the grassroots web site, or you can send him/her a letter or card (Cards will be available) This must be done ASAP. I remember before the ban asking for lurcher owners to lobby their MPs and was amazed by the the rush of indifference and look what happened. This is our chance to stand up and be counted. On wednesday of next week there will be a lobby of MPs in Westminster and it is hoped that two people from each constituency will speak to their MPs asking them to support the amendment. If you are able to attend please contact me. This will not be the end of the matter, we will carry on until there is a full repeal. Alan Tyer. Edited July 9, 2015 by courser 9 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) You could use any 2 dogs to drive to a gun or a bird of prey before any amendment as long as the gun was licensed and you were on permission , so what is in the amendment for lurcher long dog and terrier owners/workers ?

davey 310 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 So it will have to go to club coursing and more money to fork out for memberships pay the land owner but at least we could have regulated sport and stoo the rot and stop looking over your shoulder 1 Quote Link to post
desertbred 5,490 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) It can only go to club coursing if the ban was repealed completely. These organised coursing clubs previously only recognised doubled up coursing and not single handed coursing any way. The private clubs did single handed but once the ban was introduced it became illegal on or off permission. To much smoke and mirrors involved in these organisations Camerons Repeal now amendment and something is better than nothing simple question better for who ?

paulsmithy83 567 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 This repeal was always about fox hunting and wanna be power rich men. Nothing for us guys. Houbds men want us to help vote to get hunts back but are they standing up for us ???? 3 Quote Link to post

mad4it 693 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 it a start but as said at the moment it only seems that the fox hounds can use a full pack where us lurcher lads/lasses are still going to be looking over our shoulders. As what was said on other threads about the ban we need to march on parliment next thursday would be the ideal time and day to do it as it would show them that us lads/lasses want a repeal not admendments. 2 Quote Link to post
