Love that "I'm not anti hunting" working on a ban for fox HUNTING 😂 shows the mindset of the politicians in the UK and Ireland people need to take this great countries back

Just another thing we don't hear much about on main stream news?? Thanks for keeping us informed. Stay safe 🍀🇮🇪

The government have to much control, there taking away the things we love to do bit by bit, day by day

Even more Troubles up there, cant they just let the rural life run as normal there ?

@@horse-lover68 Hunting with dogs is common place in every nation and culture across the planet. Used to be very popular in Scotland and wales before the ban but hunting with dogs is still practiced in france, USA, Canada and spain, though not always on horseback. No nation can claim hunting, like no nation can claim fishing or archery.

The oposite rider's and hunter's are often in a war because the hunter's say we are to loud with the horses. In some places we have to pay the hunt for the allowance to ride through public property. NOWHERE in Europe is the hunt such a bunch of sadistic coward's. You are doing the same with ducks, shooting 2000 a day- for what?? Soon you will not have any wildlife anymore. Leave nature alone!!

@@horse-lover68 It's not animal torture this is how animals hunt in the wild, nobody accuses bears, wolves and lynx of torture because they chase down their prey. I don't know how they hunt in Austria but I would imagine the mountainous terrain would make hunting with horses too dangerous. Falconry is legal everywhere including austria and that is basically the same thing. hunting with dogs or hunting with hawks its very natural. In fact it is the most natural. People have pet cats that catch birds and rodents. Are these people also torturers, ?should we ban cats that, collectively kill millions of animals a year? or is it just dogs that are evil? I have never heard of ducks being shot in the UK. doesn't seem very common to me. mostly it is pheasants or partridges that are shot. maybe ducks very rarely.

​@@lmonk9517dont be ignorant. Fox hunters hunt for sport, animals hunt for food, there is a clear difference. Furthermore, anyone who is not a psycho wouldn't let a cat hunt mice and rats knowingly. Hunting doesn't make cats or dogs evil, it makes them normal animals. Humans however, have the ability to do better.

That fishermen hit the nail on the head i said this when they banned hunting with dogs in England divided and Conquer hunting gone shooting next then fishing.

I have had a conversation with an Alliance party elected representative on this issue. We didn't reach any common ground. As someone else commented, the Angler hit the nail on the head. If is the thin end of a wedge - United we stand, divided we fall. Well done Charlie and all at Fieldsports Britain for an excellent piece of reporting.

ITS TIME THE FARMERS WHENT INTO THE CITY AND START TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO AND SEE IF THEY PUT UP WITH IT ?????????????? BUNCH OF TO--ERS

I joined the Alliance Party and have subsequently left the party over this matter. What it has shown me is that those who wish to stand for Alliance are then subjugated to its views and policies, potentially at the cost of their own beliefs. Most of all, the Alliance Party DOES NOT represent anyone who feels that Northern Ireland should be a shared space with mutual respect and understanding, rather it appears to be an urban party for urban people who don't understand or care at all about the countryside that makes up the biggest part, geographically at least, of Northern Ireland.

How about you all at Fieldsports Britain come up with a guide to starting your own hunt? I could be serialised by breed of hounds.

it's obvious, John has been paid off for this!

I know John Blair personally, he is not the type of man to get paid off for something.

Nice to see that the NI Assembly have thrown this out. Blair is a typical Woke Alliance politician who is in the pocket of the League Against Cruel Sports. Titterington is far too restrained. Blair is a former member of DAERA Inland Fisheries who have effectively banned salmon and sea trout fishing in Northern Ireland. He has form in banning things related to field sports.

Hunting needs banned.

I'm down with hunting. I used to live in SA and work as a game ranger. But, hunting predators is a bad idea, as a means of control it doesn't work. It leads to a deeply unhealthy ecosystem. The population of predators is a signal of the health of your ecosystem. The British ecosystem is not healthy, and killing more of its few remaining predators because they kill a few lambs, is a terrible idea in the long term.

Stumbled upon this looking up info on how to actually get into hunting here. Been an angler all my life but I've always wanted to start hunting. Everything I seem to find is always red tape. Would love to hunt and eat my own meat. Where do you start? I don't know any farmers or anyone who hunts for that matter so at a dead end already. Any help would be highly appreciated. Cheers

We don't hunt for entertainment! It's gory and nasty. We hunt for conservation, to control over-breeding, and restore balance to the food chain. Some animals are impossible to control with-out dogs. There is no life without the death of other life! Get used to it, or go eat solent green!

Ridiculous.

Ban hunting

Instead of using dogs to hunt the foxes, you can use dogs to protect the flocks. In Turkey we use a dog called a Kangal to live with sheep flocks and protect them from wolves. These dogs are now being taken as strays and sent to the US to live with cow herds.

@@tidge879 The anti hunting circus and Packham would readily claim that they or their dogs were being intimidated by such guard dogs - walkers and hikers would be protesting all the more. These people already complain when entering fields of cows with young calves, unable to understand why the mothers get protective? The average visitor to the countryside is all too clueless and ignorant - hence why it’s common to see dogs off the lead chasing ground nesting species of every description during the breeding season, still smouldering disposable barbecues and bags of dog poo …

As a Outdoorsman myself, I do not agree with Fox hunting using dogs. It's not like how in new Zealand they use boar hounds to track wild boar, it's cruel. And it 8/10 times isn't a clean death for the aul sionnach. Now, I am also a conservationist. Animals like foxes have no natural predator in Ireland (because our wolves, lynxes and bears are extinct) and they (along with mink and cats and some intensive farming practices) often destroy populations of ground nesting birds such as northern lapwings (the national bird of Ireland), grey partridge, corncrake (only nests on Irelands offshore islands now), Skylarks even the mighty Hen Harrier and many more. Foxes can put severe pressure on these species who raise their young on the ground. But foxes should be killed by means of bullet, bolt even arrows are a quicker and more humane death than death by dogs. I have killed many a fox myself, but it was always quick and near instant. This is just my personal opinion though

YOU are working class?? Yes of course 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The way of doing it with horses and dogs, would be an Sananach thing. But hunting foxes for their pelts and livestock protection with a bow and later a gun is an Irish thing

Of.course Northern Ireland. Are they hunting in real Ireland, too?? I do not believe so.

Problem is, using a pack of dogs to do your dirty work aint hunting. It's cowardice.
