Yes Kaz, I cannot understand why Mr Cameron considers the re-legalising of hunting to be a significant enough vote winner to be worth it, since only a minority of 25% has been shown to support hunting. Sadly I was far from brave and feel inadequate for not doing more, not least being a friend of the late Jill Phipps, who was killed in the course of a live export protest.The Poet Laura-eatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07779308486569849157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-70847217887327512562010-02-22T12:44:30.864+01:002010-02-22T12:44:30.864+01:00Foxes aren't my favourite creatures at the mom...Foxes aren't my favourite creatures at the moment since I am pretty certain that it was the fox who took my poor cat. But I would rather that than that she had been run over. The fox has to survive I suppose.<br /><br />I am too chicken to be a hunt sab though!Reluctant Bloggernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-35828702305074425322010-02-21T21:13:36.101+01:002010-02-21T21:13:36.101+01:00I used to live in a part of the England where fox ...I used to live in a part of the England where fox hunting was a regular activity and I had to learn to bite my tongue. The idea that they were controlling pests was the most ludicrous of all. Real foxhunters actively encourage fox breeding -- so I thought species preservation was, ironically, the best argument for the practice.Duchesshttp://www.duchessomnium.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-80444906063804646432010-02-20T23:20:21.908+01:002010-02-20T23:20:21.908+01:00I can never get the sounds of those hounds baying ...I can never get the sounds of those hounds baying at the unfortunate fox out of my head.

He calls it a free vote but the CA and Vote OK are campaining and leafletting for free for pro-hunt candidates - which tells you how the vote is being stacked. <br /><br />Drag hunting is legal. The sense of community, pageantry, heritage, and jobs are all still intact and yet these disgraceful people can’t manage to enjoy themselves unless they are terrifying and killing animals. <br /><br />If you support the hunting act, please get your names on the R.O.A.R. (Register Online Against Repeal), an ‘all party’ list at: www.campaignfordecency.org.uk <br /><br />Please make your voices heard!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-28402423991984108212010-02-17T18:08:38.437+01:002010-02-17T18:08:38.437+01:00Foxes kill so few chickens - they really don't...Foxes kill so few chickens - they really don't deserve the bad press they get. Fox hunting is the same as badger baiting or dog fighting. It's animal being set on animal in the so called name of sport. "Tradition" does not sanitize it in my opinion, only highlight how selfishly, willfully stupid men can be sometimes.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239241293494668004.post-72825087825255040702010-02-17T17:15:51.592+01:002010-02-17T17:15:51.592+01:00Congratulations Laura - that was very brave.
