The stupid hunt ....

I used to keep my horses in a field near an area used by a hunt luckily for me my horses although out in a field were surrounded by very high hedges. My horses mainly watched with eyes on stalks, snorting with a bit of charging about. What did make me really angry was the hunt master and usually a couple of other hunt riders charging down the main road to follow the hounds who had gone where the hunt couldn't follow, this sometimes happens when its nearly dark in mid winter, car horns can be heard blasting. Who would be responsible if this caused an accident on a public road.

I now keep my horses in a field bordered on 2 sides by a xc course belonging to a very busy EC, my horses can be ridden in their field when horse trials etc are going on and they don't bat an eyelid.

I do think that some hunts are probably more considerate than others.
 
Hang on, if hunts nowadays follow a set trail, it must be simple to plan routes that don't cross fields of horses, livestock etc and also easy to avoid land that they are not allowed on. Or am I just being naive and they are doing as they used to regardless of the law? :rolleyes:
 
hunting with a pack of dogs is banned, ie letting the full pack go after a fox and rip it to shreds, HOWEVER hounds can be used to flush a fox out where it then must be shot, trial hunting drag hunting also goes on, did you know that in trail hunting the sent they use is normally fox? stugged into a sock type thing, now i wonder where the fox came from!

there are actually quite a few loop holes in the hunting act.... heres to a winter of glorious hunting, you really cant beat the meet, and the galloping across fields on a cold winters morning!

This post wasn't an anti/pro argument so why try to turn it into one. It was a discussion about the hunt causing problems
 
it was answering the question of isnt it banned, not turning it into any sort of argument atall, so no need to be defensive, i should of quoted the person i was replying to, i didnt.

in answer to op,. contact your local hunts and ask them to inform you when when the may be in the area, normally somebody will pop by and tell you so you can move the horses etc, if they ignore this request the write a letter to the master of the hunt, expalining your not happy.,....

Yes, but it is usually shot first, not chased and then shredded alive.

Oscar Wilde knew what he was talking about...

so now whos trying to cause a debate??? my answer was to kirby, it was not posted to create a debate of 10,000 people comeing back on my words, as i said before i was merley answering the isnt it banned question, i see nothing worng with that,

seeing as your clearly anti hunt, it maybe better to let the matter drop.

Uhhh Jaydevon just said that. so why are you repeating it. She was explaining what type of hunting is still permitted. :rolleyes:
 
oopps sorry, started a row!!!

Im antihunt,

Iam also confused about the hunts right off way???

If i was to go galloping about causing havoc surely i would get arrested?

The area where i keep Porsha the estate comes along and they have a big shoot to kill of all the pheasants, so we have to inconveintly put our horses in for the day!

Me and the girls are going to collect all the local pheasants and keep them in the tack room until the shooters have gone!! Ha Ha and then we will give the pheasants super food to make super poo to kill of the shooters Ha Ha!!!:p

If i was you OP then i would park cars in their way and block all the routes around the fields your horses are in, and maybe hold a wet tshirt contest to distract the hunt!!!:eek:
 
Jaydevon said "I wonder where the fox comes from?" insinuating that the fact a fox was killed anyway meant that it was all the same. It is NOT the same. Shooting is completely different to chasing something.

I think your reading a bit much into that, i don't think she means that it's still chased to be killed just that it is still killed.
 
MY POINT WAS even in trail hunting a fox is still used! nothing about how it got to be in the sock! unfortunatly so many people that dont hunt, (and NO disrespect to ANYBODY) simply know what they have read not what goes on in a days hunting. anway moving on.... this is bit like the katie price threads the rights/wrongs of hunting has been done to death, and again to OP talk to your local hunt they will normally work with you, its not in thier intrest to go around upsetting other land owners/users. :D:D:D
 
Hunting Today...

....I have actually just spent 3 and a half hourse with mine and my friends horse this morning as the hunt was going on in the fields all around ours. I have to say though I think they were a lot more considerate that some of the hunts I have just read about and made a point of telling everyone in the village with horses in the fields the night before that it was happening.

They came quite close, but caused nothing more than a bit of gadding about in the field and over excitement.

I was glad I was there to keep them a little calm though, I think if they had just been left alone they would have stressed a lot more.

If you didn't have permission - like the hunts do - to be on the land you were galloping about on, then yes, you could potentially be arrested for tresspass. Sabs have been arrested for this a lot. (charging about where they shouldn't be, causing havoc)

Me and the girls are going to collect all the local pheasants and keep them in the tack room until the shooters have gone!! Ha Ha and then we will give the pheasants super food to make super poo to kill of the shooters Ha Ha!!!:p

Brilliant plan .. I assume by going to collect any pheasants you wouldn't be tresspassing ? or by taking them ...um.... stealing ??

That'd totally be the way to deal with it... start by blocking a public road (not at ALL inconvenient to non-hunting road users) and then assume Hunt Staff and Followers have never seen a set of Bazookas flashed at them .. not least 'cos hunt balls are famous for their sober and sombre nature.. and also assuming by flashing in wet t-shirts that you would totally be respected protesters..

Are you real ???
