Pembshunter 23 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 There was a big discussion today at work about recent arrests in this area over Badger Baiting, when a lady I work with and a few others declared that I was no better than a badger baiter chasing rabbits with ferrets and It has pissed me off to say the least...Im now starting to doubt my own sport...This isnt right, surely us ferreters are sportsmen compared to these hooligans who dig badgers? I do hope people in general have a better opinion of us than thinking we are like Badger Baiters Quote Link to post

ABDog 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 It's not an uncommon opinion unfortunately. A member of my family recently declared me a f**king sicko because I. . . 1. Shoot rabbits 2. Would rather be out (on rabbit) with ferrets and dogs (which is infinitely worse than shooting since the dogs (according to the ignorant) rip rabbits to pieces... and all rabbits are pets). It doesn't make me doubt what I do.. just makes me realise what clowns these people are. Quote Link to post

Pembshunter 23 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I always liked the thought of the country squire ferreter! But now these townies have made me out to be a right lout. Quote Link to post
Bevwallis 7 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thankfully i havnt yet found myself in the position where i need to defend my own actions. The bottom line is that my dogs and ferrets need to eat...they happen to eat rabbits . Ignorance is not always bliss and no excuse for spouting on about something which is obviously not understood There are times in life when people simply do not want to listen to the voice of reason and so when this happens the only thing to do is walk away Quote Link to post
