Greyman 25,151 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 If this goes ahead you need to get a strong collective together employ a human rights lawyer and take it to the European Union court of human rights, use there laws against them it can be done you have the advantages of seeing how doing nothing helped us, 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,035 Posted May 31, 2023 Report Share Posted May 31, 2023 The Countryside Alliance is a sham as is BASC. There is no longer, IMO, any legislative protection for any fieldsports. The March didn’t fulfil our hopes by a long stretch. Jok. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 The marches were, or should of been the start. Unfortunately they were the end. I agree ca are useless, but that's because ordinary people wouldn't join and help. We couldn't even get the union of countrysports workers to succeed by uniting keepers and hunt staff in a trade body for a tenner each. The reason countrysports is fcked is the same reason nationalism is fcked. Because the ordinary man would rather moan about how little other people are doing than make an effort himself 7 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE STIFFMEISTER 14,553 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 In this modern society , country sports are increasingly indefensible 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 Yet ritually slaughtering millions of six week old chickens kept in their own shit for their entire short life is? No I actually disagree. I think countrysports are absolutely defendable. If only we could unite to do it. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted June 2, 2023 Report Share Posted June 2, 2023 There are so many genuine examples of mass animal suffering, yet a poorly informed Irish politician focuses on hare coursing. Where does she obtain the figure of 6000 netted hares? Seems unlikely to me. Hares are in abundance wherever coursing takes place . As soon as you ban hare coursing on an estate their numbers plummet because they no longer enjoy estate protection from shooting and poaching. So how does banning hare coursing ensure their future conservation? She is a very misguided woman who would be better employed helping her constituents rather than attacking their rights. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,151 Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 But it is your human rights to be able to hunt just like Sam smiths right to identify as a fat spandex covered seal and the only people that will uphold your human rights is the same mad court we all hate so as I’ve said turn it against them any individual one of you could take a case and if you win you could set a president for future cases, 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terryd 8,024 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Just read on the news in Ireland to meet green targets they are going to cull 10% dairy herds so about 65000 cows a year culled for 3 years. Farmers are not overly impressed. Best not chase a hare though very cruel. Bet I know 195000 cows that would swap places with a bloody hare Edited June 4, 2023 by terryd 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,372 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Running a hare in Ireland with a lurcher has been banned for years .. This new bill coming in is to stop the organised coursing meets which are done under license . Some of these coursing clubs have been known to threaten people attack people and smash cars up all for running a hare with a lurcher . Why should/would the hunting man help them out really ...
