AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING WHICH COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.

[Barrie 1,325]

For those not already aware, Alison Johnstone MSP (Scottish Green Party) has tabled a Private Member’s Bill, which if approved would have a severe, negative impact on all forms of hunting with dogs. It is presently out for public consultation and that consultation period ends on 15^th September 2019, which is less than a month away. It’s essential that you and as many other likeminded individuals as possible respond before that date.

Before responding, it’s advisable to read the comments and notes of guidance provided by the Scottish Countryside Alliance and/or Scottish Association of Country Sports. These can be found at: https://www.countryside-alliance.org/getattachment/cd8b72ad-d577-4523-bbcb-5b19a6e89461/Alison-Johnstone-Consultation-Countryside-Alliance-Response_.pdf?lang=en-GB and   https://www.sacs.org.uk/media/uploads/cat-252/banning-fox-and-hare-control-in-scotland-sacs-consultation-guidance-for-members.pdf

The survey is also available online and can be completed at: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/WildMammals/

It’s important to complete the survey in full (including names and addresses) and no matter how frustrating, or ridiculous you may find some of the proposals, please remember “courtesy at all times”. There's no extra points for belligerence, or for rudeness, the purpose of the exercise is to improve awareness, NOT to make any more enemies than we already have.

It's a Government based survey of your views and opinions on what's being proposed (nothing more and nothing less). Because it includes personal data it must/will be registered under Data Protection Legislation and as such your privacy is protected by Law..

What you choose to do is your own personal choice, that's between you and your conscience. But you can be certain that our opponents will be doing just that, along with their grandmother and no doubt the cat next door too.

And if that's your excuse for sitting back and doing nothing, while the antis take away the few remaining freedoms you have. Or if it helps in some way to salve your conscience, then that's your own personal choice. Just don't complain afterwards that no one was prepared to listen.

The only people who benefit from the "I'm doing bugger all attitude" are the antis and it's a big contributing factor to us being where we are today. Dislike them we may AND I DO, but if nothing else you have to admire them for their commitment. It wouldn't hurt now and again for some of us to take a leaf out of their book and fight back, instead of doing their work for them.

If "this country is knackered", that's just what happens when you sit back, do nothing and aren't prepared to defend, or fight for what you believe in.

I'm with Wildman, things will never be overturned or laws slackened. It's a dying game unfortunately so you stop or carry on regardless.

No offence intended...., but you're the one advocating we sit back, do nothing and let an Anti MP get away with doing whatever she chooses without offering any form of resistance. But nevertheless I won't insult you by suggesting you might be an anti and I don't think you are, otherwise I would say so.

As regards my credentials, I've been around and on here for more than a little while. There are plenty who do know me and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out who I am, either on here or in real life (that includes the antis and I've a wonderful collection of hate mail just to prove it). 

My only reason for starting this thread was to ensure that what I considered might be "like minded individuals" were aware of what was afoot and that they had an opportunity to make their opposing views known. From there on in it's a matter of personal choice and I'll simply leave it at that.
