Cottesmore Hunt, Boxing Day 2012 - Oakham, Rutland

“Thank you so much for your understanding and appreciation, l'm highly delighted that there are people out there that have compassion and feeling for wildlife.
You sound like a wonderful person and a great pity this world is so short of the type of person you are.
l wish you well and would like to take this oportunity to wish you and all your family a very happy and prosperous NEW YEAR!

Kind Regards.

Brian.”

“Thank you for helping me see the light, blind I was, now I see. THIS BLOOD SPORT should be researched to the fullest. EDUCATION AND AWARENESS classes should be held in the schools beginning at the Elementary level AND through your level of completion of education and into your Universities. If you can educate just one generation, they will pass it down, and the children don't have to see the the goriness of the sport, but need to be educated in animal preservation and protection laws. The way to stop something of this nature is EDUCATION and the RSPCA SHOULD PUT MONIES TOWARD PROGRAMS of this nature and also hold to the PRINCIPAL, AT WHATEVER PRICE TO BRING THIS TO LIGHT, WITH STIFFERS FINES AND JAIL TERMS OR IMPRISONMENT. I have enjoyed our debate and now it is NEW YEARS OVER THERE AND HERE, SO HAPPY NEW YEARS, 2013. OAKTREELANE”

“oaktree.

YOU are now begining to understand the or some of the extent this evil people derive pleasure from.
l could elaborate but l feel sure you as a human being would be devistated.
l can tell you are a animal lover but like myself you are not opposed to proper hunting, where the bird or animal as a fair chance and also if the kill is used for the table thats well and good.

Kind Regards.

Brian.”

“Well. I just watched a very disturbing video from the GUARDIAN,titled DAVID CAMERON'S Local Hunt Convicted after RSPCA Prosecution, Dec, 2012, the video was gruesome and appalling, the RSPCA put out over 300,000 in monies to have the hunters, richard sumner and julian barfield brought to justice, which pleaded guilty, but their fine seemed way too megar, for the pain and suffering inflicted to the FOX, the laws need stiffer penalites, financial and perhaps a jail term added along with it. Well this club was fined also, but also a meager amount in my opinion, violaters should get maxium penalties. I believe in the chase by scent, and in reading the law, the animal if flushed out, is to be shot immedialty, with dogs only two in the hunt, to be in controlled mode. well, that to me would seem to be an impossibility, the adrenal of the dogs would be so high, how could you control them and if a pack, it would seem there could be no way to control them. The video clip was and EYE OPENER, I may have to rethink this over. VIOLATORS are in every sport, even doping of players in football or baseball, but to to kill and rip apart a innocent animal for sport is disgusting. If penalities were much higher and jail terms added, I think the killings would stop. THE RSPCA did the right thing, even though it was a high price to pay, the PRINCIPAL, was the guide for going forth. In putting out this huge amount, it did come to fruition, by the guilty plea and fines, but the fines were meager, for the FOX died, 15 lbs each , and of course the total I think to thehunt club, 15,000,but that was not enough, well the RSPCA did the right by bringing this to light, and FOXES are beautiful, my sister had two or three wild ones she fed for years, they would come on her patio and she would feed them, they even brought their young ones to visit her. So a NATURE LOVER we both are, killing to eat for nourishment is one thing, but killing to get a high off a blood sport, is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME. I HOPE IN THE FUTURE, TRADITIONS WILL OBEY THE 2005 LAWS ON THIS, IF NOT, THEN HUGE FINES AND JAIL TERMS, NO IF'S, AND'S, OR BUT'S' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OAKKTRELANE”
