I’ve had dogs for about 50 years and never had permission I certainly won’t be stopping now no matter what the laws are 

ABSOLUTE JOKE  this has been coming for a while we need to fight this all the way not just for our selves but for future generations this will make going out with a couple of dogs rabbiting illegal an

Neither the Countryside Alliance nor BASC are backing us up no matter what you say or think. Jok.

The best thing anyone can do in Scotland is to urgently write to their MSP and urge them, at least, to press for rabbits to be removed from the definition of mammals in the emerging Bill. Explain how responsible humane lurcher work, works (ferreting etc) and why that part of your rural heritage and liberty to harvest natural food in this sustainable way should continue. Explain that there are more sensible ways to stop illegal hare poaching - as that is the main reason cited by the Scottish Government for including rabbits in the ban.
 

Some of the politicians in Holyrood are clearly being worked from behind by the antis who are relentless, so unless something is done NOW working Lurchers are finished for good in Scotland, sadly. Its ok saying ignore the ban etc but don’t forget there will be in parallel harsh penalties. And why ignore such a blatant misinformed attack on your way of life, liberty and heritage.

Now lurcher folk are not well known for being letter writers so it won’t happen. What would help would be Basc or who ever to do one of them template click here to email your local mp. With what you just said.But that won’t happen either

The Alliance is running e petitions where you type in your post code and it automatically emails a standard letter to all your local MSPs. You don’t have to be a member just go on their web page

You can access the link to the e-lobby on the CA update at beginning of this thread. Just click on the e-lobby words. 
 

I still think urgent direct liaison with your MSP through letter or face to face is far better as the e-lobby is more to do with fox control and the licensing system. Do both! The CA and others are suggesting to the Scottish Government that the way to exclude rabbits from an effective total ban is for land owner permission to be required. That is exactly the same situation as in the rest of the UK.

The whole point in adding rabbits is to close the loophole for coursers who say they are after rabbits.
