Countryside Alliance launches Hunting Act repeal website

Martha Terry, H&H news desk

16 December, 2008

The Countryside Alliance has launched a website to encourage people to register their support for the repeal of the Hunting Act.

Supporters can also air their comments on why the Act should be scrapped.

Countryside Alliance chief executive Simon Hart said: "The Alliance is giving everyone who believes in fairness and liberty the opportunity to register their opposition to the most pointless and illiberal piece of legislation the current government has passed.

"The political tide is changing and the repeal is becoming increasingly likely."

More than 1,800 supporters had signed up during the website's first day live.

can't see why anyone would want to support the CA they did little or nothing for coursing when the ban was going through.

Totally agree with you on this one mate, they did the coursing lads few favours. They were happy with our support when we marched in london then ignored us in favour for the fox hunting community. I personally wouldn't give them the steam off my P**s

The C.A are the only people that are fighting the ban in any form yes coursing did go first but without them still fighting shooting/Fishing/Dog Racing/Pigeon Racing & many more of your sports & pastimes will go labour/Anti's/RSPCA are all the same but just under different names they all work together & their aim is a total ban on ALL fieldsports.

Fishing will never be banned, it's a multi million pound industry and the biggest participated sport in the UK.

If the future of Angling ever came into doubt there's far bigger organisations than the Countryside Alliance that would defend the anglers cause, Like the Environment Agency who rely on Anglers license fees to fund the work they do.

I'd go so far as to say that most anglers haven't got a clue what the CA do and who they are. You only have to look at the figures the CA's got 107,00 members and yet there's an estimated 3 MILLION anglers in the UK.

It was the countryside Alliance that organised the marches across the country to object to the hunting ban.John went to London.Edinburgh and Manchester with the Countryside Alliance did you go too..........John also went to rallies at the racecourses with countryside alliance also it was members of the Countryside Alliance who broke into the commons to object and got arrested......They may not have succeeded but at least they did try. To be a part of the Hare coursing when it was the real thing you had to be members of the CA and the gamekeepers association you dont mean to tell me you didnt support them then ?

Good post Sue

 

[Pennymeadow Whippets]

The Working Whippet Club have supported the Countryside Alliance at some of their events this year by doing Lure Coursing displays & will be doing the same next year :thumbsup:

Have The East Anglia Whippet Coursing Club done anything to support the C.A this year or does the silence say it all.

Hunting isn't just for the Toffs there are a lot of working class who like and supported hunting of all sorts from fishing to shooting and hare coursing to fox hunting.This smacks of inverted snobbery.

 

[rigsby]

I think that people will find that without the CA`s intervention, there would be no dog work at all , the exemptions that we enjoy on rabbit and rat would not exist

Good point rigsby. wonder how long it will be before a complete ban becomes law.

 

[Fursty ferret]

I cant believe some "working" folks attitudes. As PM says, CA are the only orginisation fighting for a repeal, so unless you are happy with your bag chasing, get of ya arses and support the repeal!!

I certainly wont lay down and accept this unjust law, and will never stop fighting,, and would expect the same attitude from anyone visiting this section of the forum!!

Keep hunting, fcuk the ban!!
