Female runner assaults, niche cyclist (or vice versa) Bibury

Must remember other people have different opinions to me and i must respect them. Sorry mr sinatra

The law is badly written and widely flouted. Hunts still carry on as much as ever and its still nothing to do with killing vermin although that is often the excuse. Its all about killing things for fun.

Can’t be right to impede traffic and not let it pass?

well what happens when lorry drivers have a go slow on the motorway, are they allowed to do that? Are we allowed to drag them out of their cabs and give them a good shoeing for slowing us down?

As v666 says it’s an assault on a human being, he may have wound them up and yes I’d have found it damned annoying too but you can’t go round smacking people cause they annoy you.

v666ern – I wasn’t condoning ninja bird attacking wellie man just saying that to post she was with the hunt monitors and ergo: all hunt monitors are blood thirsty maniacs was incorrect.

still don’t let that get in the way of a good shout 😉

TBF tj I think it’s about charging round the countryside having a laugh with your mates….

….that just also happens to have a ripping fwuffy animals to bits as a finale.

The vermin control excuse is just taking the piss tho.

wwaswas 😉

couldnt agree more

The vermin control excuse is just taking the piss tho

how would you like the vermin to be controlled, do we just have none to see what happens…as a shotgun license holder, which i do as sport, i can tell you that vermin control costs a hell of a lot and it goes on unnoticed..without it the county would be a lot different

dressing up in red jackets and having a big game of “catch me if you can” with the foxes isn’t about vermin control is it? I’m no expert I’ve no idea if foxes need to be controlled and if they do what the most humane way of dealing with them is. I can however see through a flimsy excuse.

i can tell you that vermin control costs a hell of a lot

well if you need a dozen horse and riders and a pack of dogs yes costs will add up, those diddy trumpet mustn’t be cheap

oooh, how topical;

the bloke with the nose flute looks a bit odd.

Its all about killing things for fun.

Unless you’re a strict vegan, please see previous comments about eating meat.

Ta! 🙂

sorry my point was that if mr and mrs hamilton-boyce the third and chums arent controlling fox numbers, then who is…if it gets passed onto shooting bodies how long til shooting is banned…then from there whose going to pick up the tab…cos mr tax payer would rightly rather have a nurse than vermin control?

I don’t think people necessarily have a problem with controlling populations of foxes/rats/ants or whatever.

I think what a lot of people do find odd/objectionable is treating the killing of creatures as a fun day out for all the family.

Also, when the people doing it are challenged and act a bit baffled when asked ‘Hang on isn’t there a better way we coudl do this in the 21st century?’. I really don’t see that ‘just because we always have’ is any reason to carry on with a particular activity.

+1 this, but until someone suggests a cost effective way, i dont see the point of hunt sabs following hunts and becoming confrontational and aggressive to other people

be nice everyone, have a hug!

They do. They get to have a fight. Sometimes they even get to have real fun (all in the name of animal welfare, of course) like spraying mace in a horse’s face, or cutting the ears of foxhounds, no need for any proper surgery or anasthetic obviously, to disguise the tattoo makring in there. Vile little scrotes.

I think the point is that Police don’t have resources to follow hunts so the AR lot do it.

I don’t believe all AR folk behave as above – what’s your evidence? OR is it just anecdote?

v666…
Is that “Legally Over” like the packs of hounds that meet twice a week to “Legally” chase deer on the Quantocks???

So, you’re saying she was a vigilante then?

police won’t do anything about it, so we’ll take it into our own hands, and it doesn’t matter what laws we break, cause its all for the poor ickle foxie woxies innit 😥

As the days of packs of hounds chasing foxes is legally over

that im definately not an expert on…anyone else have knowledge..?

i’ve seen plenty of video evidence that this has happened, they may not be all d1cks though…just like not all cyclists are d1cks 🙂

I agree with this.
If the AR are behaving as CFH says, they’re no better than the nob end foxhunters.

thats an argument that has nothing whatsoever to do with the cruelty argument – if it causes pain/suffering then it causes no more, or less pain and suffering whether there are two people there, or fifty – for what its worth, most of the “real” pest control hunting was done on weekdays without many followers, hounds flushing to guns and terrier work for example.

The Burns report accepted that in upland areas hunting was the most effective and least cruel option, that in those areas hunts were responsible for up to 70% of the fox tally, and concluded a ban would have a negative impact on fox welfare in upland areas – the politico’s chose to ignore this fact when they drafted the law, as it was about politics, not animal welfare.

I recently read about “people” who go on holiday to places like Canada so that they can shoot bears. For fun. What sort of **** degenerate uses their precious holiday time, pays money and then enjoys shooting a bear?
**** shameful it is.
Karma will even up with these pricks eventually.

wrecker, people with too much money 🙄

anyway back to the topic at hand, he wasnt wearing a helmet so was he asking for it…good job he never went through a red light either

Would a better tactic have been to walk in front of the cyclist thus impeding his view, sort of like live russian dolls on the road?

Maybe if a fox had shot out from the hedgerow and knocked him off the bike like that antelope/mtber incident.

Does money turn people into ****s?

Not always – some are born that way….

They seem to manage without them up here in the Highlands – the stalkers/gamekeepers/farmers and so on just go out lamping at night and shoot them.

…and who employs the gamekeepers, the toff with all the money who goes hunting
…who sells the stalking to the shooters, the toff with all the money who goes hunting
…who leases the land to the farmers, the toff with all the money who goes hunting

who is also the person who goes big game hunting, and puts it all back into our lovely economy…these people are what keeps it all turning, whether we like it or not

and i bet they started off as bankers!

My nearest toff is that exact person, ex hong kong judge, bought an estate turned it into a viable business created loads of jobs and made the village a lovely place to be again

who is also the person who goes big game hunting, and puts it all back into our lovely economy…these people are what keeps it all turning, whether we like it or not

Dear god, you are broaching that kind of viewpoint on STW. You’d best be wearing a flame suit, it’s a lefty/socialist haven here!

its ok, i commuted on my single speed today with my converse 😳

beside’s its just an opinion, i thought thats what the net was for so nobodies can spew mindless vomit… 😆

…and who employs the gamekeepers, the toff with all the money who goes hunting

And when hunting is banned, the toff is still going to need the pests controlled is he not?
Bears aren’t “game”; they’re Bears.

Round here, that’ll be the rich foreigners who don’t go fox hunting.

…who sells the stalking to the shooters, the toff with all the money who goes hunting

The rich foreigner who doesn’t go fox hunting.

…who leases the land to the farmers, the toff with all the money who goes hunting

The National Trust for Scotland. Who don’t run fox hunts.

That aside, I was simply pointing out that round here, there are no fox hunts, and they are successfully controlled by shooting them with rifles.

And when hunting is banned, the toff is still going to need the pests controlled is he not?

there going to ban hunting..? hasnt that got to get passed somewhere…house of toff’s have a say dont they… 🙄 sure i read somewhere before about them trying to ban that toff sport…

Bears aren’t “game”; they’re Bears

in this country…elsewhere they are game and part of an economy 😕

That cyclist was being deliberately antagonistic – was lucky that just a woman (with a nice butt) got out and assaulted him.

Whoa betide a natural resource like big game being a valuable product for marginal communities, eh!

Blood diamonds bring an income. It doesn’t necessarily make them right…

true, but a lot of this is down to the person’s POV, for instance if you’d worn a pink shirt and ate prawn sandwiches at a football match in the 70’s people may not have been that welcoming either 😳
*thinks his own simile is rubbish*

can someone point me back to where we were going with this…

Shes got a nice ass 8)
