Devonlady - Just a word of advice from someone who has suffered troubles.

Don't admit to breaking the hunting ban on an open forum.

I have lurchers, a whippet, terriers and hound. We are a fox free zone. Used to do a hell of a lot of fox control, but now to admit that the dogs killed charlie is to invite a knock on the door and all of your dogs being pts be the rspca muppets.

But well done whippets  :thumbsup:

I will assert that I told those naughty dogs to leave that sweet fox alone!! Bad dogs ;) What next will these people come up with? No shooting of dear fluffy rabbits? Banned from taking that cuddly lamb to the abattoir?
I have said and will say again that these people are not RSPCA who did a good and sensible job but PETA, most members of which have probably never farmed.
I invite any arguments/discussions on the subject.

I agree wholeheartedly. . . . . but the law, as they say, is an arse.

Unfortunately the RSPCA i now a very close minded political lobbying organisation.
