Should Be Locked Up

[Lab 10,979]

Should be treated like any other thieves. To me there's a difference between poaching a bird or two for the pot and taking 100.

Exactly...and if you can't tell the difference between that f**k off out the hunting community.

No different to diesel and tool theft

And they rammed his car, fired shot at him (whether it be gun or catty) and disspaeared then found with 100 birds in boot?

 

Want stringing up not locking up. Set of cnuts.

Thieves.

[lurcherman 887 13,438]

Boo hoo

[Lab 10,979]

Until a dog gets shot eh.

How many would they have taken if not disturbed or have stolen from other places? Chances are that they have been before and taken such a large number of birds that it became noticeable by the game keeper.

[Lab 10,979]

With some of the replies I'd like to know when it becomes 'acceptable' to steal game birds? Obviously some think it's ok to steal them when they are released to wood but is it ok to come on to a game farm and steal them at a few weeks old. Genuine question.

It's perfectly acceptable to nick someone else's property as long as you call it "poaching" because that makes it sound all nostalgic and romantic rather than common theft.

?.....I think lots of people genuinely think like this. Also if the person who your stealing off wears tweed or drives a fancy car it's equally ok to steal of them.

So should you go to jail if caught poaching rabbits or deer on someone else's land also or even hares ?

Surely you see a difference between lamping a few wild rabbits off a man's land without permission, to mopping up with catapults 100 roosting pheasants that a man has bought, fed & reared!

Completely different. Since when did someone fork out thousands of pounds to buy rabbits, deer or hares??

Although you may get some arguments from the stalkers as some work effort and some money does go into that side of things.

Hung for a sheep as well as a lamb as the old saying goes .

You get nicked for taking a couple of rabbits lamping or a hundred , same with anything if your not where your supposed to be taking anything it's against the law 2 or 100 makes no difference only to the person taking them or them taken from

They got caught no whinging they get on with it ?
