As much as I'm in favour of dispatching vermin, the above is the illegal bit.

You're just giving the antis more fuel putting that on a public forum.

 

Also, stopping any kind of sex is against the way my brain works.

And rightly so, I work terriers, but dickheads like that are the reason hunting with dogs was banned, shame they spoiled it for the rest of us

[markieg31]

yeah all ways a minority that spoil it for the majority!

Is it illegal if you are hunting vermin ? I thought it was only illegal to hunt game with dogs. My fox terrier bless her when she was alive she would have got me hung as she wouldn't stop hunting. I was walking her on a trail on her flexy lead and she caught a rabbit in the bushes beside the trail.

Rabbits and rats are exempt from the hunting act, terrier work is still legal but can only use one terrier to ground and fox has to be dispatched with a firearm

I was going to contradict you but when I was looking for a quote to paste in, I found a clause which does indeed allow the hunting of rabbits with dogs, although I'm sure there was a case recently where amongst other offences someone was charged with the pursuance of bunnies.

 

Just goes to show....what a badly written piece of legislation the Act is and how confused I am?

Hunting and the law

You can be fined up to £5,000 if you’re found guilty of illegal hunting.

Hunting with dogs

You can’t hunt some animals, like foxes, hares and deer, but you can hunt under certain conditions, for example:

 

stalking and flushing out - but only to control pests and only if they’re shot as soon as possible afterwards

hunting rats and rabbits

retrieving hares that have been shot

rescuing wounded animals, as long as they weren’t wounded on purpose


drag hunting and trail hunting

[waz77]

Yes it's bad, if your dogs chases a rabbit and kills it that's ok, but if it chased a squirrel and it gets away you're breaking the law

[Stubby]

How can a law use the word " like " ? What is like a fox or a deer or a hare .

? ?? It has to be specific . That is rubbish if it uses the word like . ambiguous to say tjhe least ....
