Unspeakable

If, as rumoured, the country is in such a bad state, how can Mr Cameron contemplate using Parliamentary time trying to bring back fox hunting, given that he must realise the majority of the country is against it?

His assertion that at present a lot of police time is wasted enforcing the law cannot be correct when compared with the number of police who were employed to enable the unspeakable to chase the uneatable.

It's time that we did something about the conditions of the animals that we keep for food rather than worrying about a few foxes.

The ban which was forced through should never have been there in the first place so if i gets repealed it will be just putting things right

Of course he wants to bring it back - he's a hunter!
He's taken part in hunts & enjoyed it very much.
He's only stopped because he won't be voted in if he's shown hunting & it won't go down well if he is voted in.
You wait, as soon as his political career is over, he'll start hunting again.

For goodness sake , let the country folk look after the country . Most townies know nothing about managing the countryside and should keep their noses well and truly out. Yes, love animals, but do try and be sensible- foxes are killers, and the result of a raid on a hen house is not pleasant! a lot of the chickens die from sheer fright!

I *totally* understand that, I keep some ponies on a sheep farm.
But for humans to chase a fox for their own enjoyment, kill it (v. quickly, I hope my death lasts the same as a hunted fox) & then claim that it had to be killed simply for being a fox. You can't say that! A fox kills because of it's instincts, you can't kill it for that, that's really Nazi.
If a fox has to be killed, with dogs & horses may be the best way as a particular fox can be caught & the rest left alone. But a couple of people & a few pairs of hounds will do.
It's the "taking pleasure in the suffering of an animal" that gets to people, not the "actually killing the thing".
