I'm sure you've cut down your meat consumption to avoid anything other than locally produced meat, which would effectively make you vegetarian. I'm somewhat shocked that you end the argument after vermin classification. What do you say about bagged foxes and artificial earths? Don't give me that "they don't exist" line either, they clearly do (well, did prior to the ban) and some hunts have admitted it.

It is can be disruptive to livestock damage planting & hedges. Most of the hunting fraternity are urbanites who live in the country and ride. (They then assume that they are real country folk and the workers are just oiks who know nothing about the countryside). For info I was born in the country and lived there for the first 18ish years. A number of Farm owners in the area controlled the access of the hunts on there land (Only Hunt Master and dog controller allowed if quarry followed onto land.

So when there are patrols checking whether there are dogs on leads or not I hope they arrest the idiots who run and take part in the hunt anyway! I would be extremely unhappy if a pack of dogs was chasing my pet or one of my children. Excellent some sense, number one I thought that hunting with dogs was banned?

Myself and my family got out of the car to stop the traffic in both directions so the dogs did not get killed. About 10 minutes later the riders on horse turn up to gather the dogs together. The main rider was that Otis Ferry who could not even be bothered to say thankyou for our help. If they are going to hunt they need to keep a leash when near the road or housing estates.

A hunter thinks that hunts should not be restricted. Oh and Ian, get a grip. Most of the "antis" in Shropshire live in the countryside. Urbanites oppose hunting for a variety of reasons. However, rural "antis" normally oppose hunting becau1se they've observed it in full flow and are sick and tired of having to watch cruelty unfold, have their gardens wrecked, pets killed and roads blocked. I've seen Shropshire rural residents reduced to crying, quivering nervous wrecks simply because hunts are meeting within a few miles of their house. It always astounds me that hunters are so keen to turn a debate about cruelty and arrogance into an us and them class debate. The rich, poor, urban, rural, aware, ignorant and cruel hunt.

If you can't control them don't let them on public roads. I must admit to having a laugh about the scene of all these idiots in red running around with hounds on the end of leads. You're not running the country now. Oh dear the hunting mob (all two of them and their apologists) are whining again.

This is 2008, not the dark ages!
