Anyone know of any hunts going out on Saturday?

[Schrödinger's Toad]

The hunting folk are clever and recourcefull, they will be running rings round the anti's untill a tory government gets in and lifts the ban.

They'll be running rings for a fair old while, then ...

You've gone pottymouth recently.

You've gone pottymouth recently.

yeah, the result of doing way too much a level work

At what point does the hunt actually break the law? Presumably not until it catches a fox, and the police will be well behind by then.

At the stage when the police can prove that the hounds went out to chase the fox and did not stumble on it while they where out for walkies.

and the police can prove it was an intentional hunt ( most police forces will not inforce the ban as they have not the resources and backing from the police officers to arrest the hunts man)

all legal crap in other words the bill is not worth the paper it is writen on

You obviously haven't met my annoying, tedious, penniless but actively pro-hunting step sister. She's as thick as pig shit.

Wow, she sounds a CATCH! What's her number?

this is a bizarre justification of breaking the law that the pro-hunters have adopted recently, i've heard the same elsewhere: police forces can't stop us, therefore it's a bad law....nonsense in my view.

 

[ditchy]

I just hope the Police are prepared to deal with those who break the law. Either that, or we'll all have to start deciding which laws we fancy sticking to and which not.

THATS EXACTLY THE CASE ..the govt isnt capable of passing laws which can be inforced .. total waste of space !

 

[Mr Popkins]

What people forget that in 1997 it was in labours manafesto that they would ban fox hunting , so people voted for this democraticly
I think 8 years in long enough to wait!!

what annnoyes me is all the toff saying this isnt about fox hunting but a class war!!

Bollox!!! its about crulety to animals, end of!!!

 

[eastlondonseagull]

What is it with all this hunting lark? There was a really shit programme on the telly last night looking at the plight of hunters and their families, and they interviewed some old codger who didn't hunt himself, but he went along for a fun afternoon out. He literally walked behind the horses (how'd he keep up?) and said he had five or six hours of 'entertainment' every saturday. I've never been to a hunt, so I can't comment on what goes on, but is watching a fox being chased and then (I presume) mauled to death 'entertainment'?

It's not like the miners losing their jobs

The Hampshire Hunt is meeting at Preston Candover, I will be in Wigan but Small Child x 2 will be in Preston Candover. [/i]

You mean you go in hunts?

Are you SURE you're Irish? The only Irish people stupid enough to dress up, ride around on horses chasing after foxes have the surname "Guinness" and are extemely inbred...

There seems to be a fair few of the Guinness family around the fields of Limerick every weekend.

 

[looney]

I could go on a hunt soon as I know someone with connections to the Royal Surrey Hunt.


Tally Ho!!

 

[Albion Rob]

The whole hunting thing seems to be weighted against the fox. Maybe if they strapped a bomb to the fox and let it take a few of the hunters with it the sport would be a bit fairer.

There are rather a lot of the feckers... inbreeding and lots of it

Limerick is weird. Anti-English yet plays rugby better than the country that invented it...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Can't quite get my head around the pro-hunters' arguments, to be honest.

1) It's a British tradition going back hundreds of years.
Well so is slavery, witch-ducking, Royal-inbreeding, and chopping off the heads of religious dissidents before mounting them on spikes across London Bridge, but that doesn't necessarily mean they have a place in 2005 society.

2) It's not about the killing, it's the thrill of the chase.
So go drag hunting then (I was disappointed when I found out what drag hunting really was, I had a hilarious vision in my mind which was completely ruined).

3) Thousands will lose their jobs when its banned.
Funny, I didn't see all you green welly types queuing to back up the miners, or the steelworkers, or the Rover car workers, when they all lost their jobs....

4) The dogs will all have to be killed
What, now you're moaning about cruelty to animals??!

5) Its a free society, we shall do what we want
Surely if you're going to choose which laws you obey, the rest of us can do the same? I think I'll go out and burgle a few houses while you're all snorting around the hillsides on the back of King William Bohemian Rhapsody In Emerald III.

True it is law and should be followed but there are some many loop holes and grey areas that the hunts will go on until the bill it is tightend up or the police decide to enforce it

I am joining the Ape Hunt in sussex this weekend where wil be bouncing along Brighton streets on our Spacehoppers looking for Kev the Ape and when we find him we will cut him to pieces and smear his blood over the faces of Woolworths customers.

Since I didn't comment on whether the children would be riding to hounds or there protesting on Saturday, I'm not sure what the Guinness family have to do with anything. For all you know I could very well be a descendant of that stupid, inbred family. Or I could be vehemently anti-hunting.

Well, which side *are* you on?

Generally, if you were a protester, you'd say you were. But you'd also say if you were on a hunt... you said neither.

Starry,

Do not argue with MYOB as although only 17 years old he knows everything about everything and cannot be wrong.
