Blocked out faces?


Recommended Posts

Why do some of you overseas hunters block out your face in hunting pics if they are pics of old when the type of hunting may have been legal or is still legal? I understand some have HAD to conceal identity NOW because it may be illegal the way or quarry that was worked, but I'm not ashamed of my face holding my proven dogs, why are you? Especially if it was in the past. I'd be proud to own such dogs that worked.

 

Not meant to offend anyone, just curious. Besides, if they made hunting NOT legal the way I hunt or on the game I hunt, I'd still be doing it.

Rolly I think on this side of the pond things are just that bit different. We are proud of our dogs and proud of what we do, but we have other factors at play here. Speaking hypothetically, say I was out digging a fox, the USPCA(N.Irelands animal police) turn up, they can say I was digging illegal quarry and I HAVE TO PROVE THEM WRONG. They don't have to prove they are right. They just have to stand in court and say what they want, they will have vets in their pockets to strengthen their argument and gain their convictions by hook or by crook. They will have vets look at a terrier and say any scars are from hunting illegal game. We are in a loose loose situation with this organisation. Then there is the antis, they are more active in England, Scotland and Wales along with RSPCA. The last thing any hunting folk want is these idiots arriving at houses in the middle of the night to damage cars or poison or steal dogs. We'd rather just keep our identities safe so that we can indulge in our chosen sport without any hassle and kepp hunting alive. This is just my opinion.

 

Cheers, Eamon.mc.
