This matter should not ever be considered trivial, or "pathetic" as quoted above. What is disheartening is that the membership is not united on this matter, and that progress has been painfully slow. Rules are clear and so is the Law about Tresspassing.on private property. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundlover 24 Report post Posted November 30, 2017 There is nothing there.... you couldn’t tell what that is, photo quality is terrible. People have clearly trespassed and caused all these problems to begin with... there were a number of cases thrown out in qld because of the tresspassing. It is illegal. I will defend them too because they have done nothing wrong, they work hard and get results from that hard work. Good on them for defending there granddaughter because they are working for one of the best trainers in the county. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emotive 306 Report post Posted November 30, 2017 7 hours ago, shelley said: Rules are clear and so is the Law about Tresspassing.on private property. That is a very interesting point of view Shelley. Based on your theory: if someone witnessed a murder while illegally on the property the murder was committed, the murderer would get off, because the evidence was reported by a trespasser????? Is that correct???? There have been a number of animal welfare prosecutions in New Zealand which involved undercover footage taken by animal activists who obtained the footage by trespass. SAFE has been actively involved in such stings. To my knowledge, the verdicts were not overturned. gary1, Eagle Eye and alltheway!!! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't bother to read your email sent out at the time, didn't bother to check the advisory on the website, didn't bother to read the hard copy that was sent out to all LP's to be inserted in their rulebooks.

The changes made were important and very necessary to the future of the sport. Far more important than an objection to a tie. I was never aware of the rule until recently, cannot remember ever seeing any info on it, but what worries me most is that there was no input asked from the members/users beforehand. The rule is stupid, it defies logic and if I had questioned it , my bet going on previous experience would have been that I would not likely have got a reply or acknowledgement. Sue starts this thread quoting the Aussie example. In my opinion the Aussie case as ridiculous, Ok it may not meet the rules but it did not warrant the resulting sentence. What if the trainer had fed the dead carcasses to his dogs. That would have been legal so what's the difference and if it was not legal what about other types of animal carcasses we feed to dogs. Where I live a neighbour lets his son in law exercise his dogs, Two large mongrels and two ankle biters on his property and it is not unusual for them to catch a rabbit. I cannot help but wonder at the irony that a fence between us is all that makes it not a national outcry. Actually this brings up another point. If you do not agree with the a rule how do you get your views heard? We used to address this through our clubs who would put forward remits at the AGM. This year the AGM was just a financial statement. What about other business? We used to have a LP REP, now that has finished. The new management very quickly changed our letterhead and seem intent on disenfranchising the members as well. As for you Alltheway saying Shelley is as guilty as the perpetrator's of the current debacle , you are way out of line and display you have an ulterior motive. Firstly there has been no one found guilty of anything yet , although you are wishing and secondly Shelly has only told the truth. Emotive and others who say it is alright to gather video evidence illegally think back to the Tama Iti case where the very clear video evidence was thrown out because it was filmed illegally.

Never saw any information on this rule, my bet it was bought in without gazetting. The changes made are a knee jerk reaction that is highly hypocritical. They are absolutely stupid, and reflect badly on the idiots that voted it in. It needs to be thrown out. I do not know what contempt has to do with this subject, i can only repeat, it was all news to me, and i only learn't of it as a result of the outrageous sentence given to the poor Australian for using a dead skin on a lure. Hopefully he can find justice, and have it thrown out. He certainly has my support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
