MPs vote to ban hunting with dogs
MPs have voted to ban hunting with dogs despite mass demonstrations and the debate in the House of Commons being interrupted by protesters.
The Bill's second reading was passed by 356 votes to 166 after Rural Affairs Minister Alun Michael insisted the will of the elected chamber would prevail.

What do you think?
The thugging behaviour by the protesters astounds me tbh. How can they expect to gain respect and be taken seriously when they're behaving like criminals ?
More to the matter at hand... I'm kinda in the middle when it comes to hunting foxes, with dogs. I can see where the country folk are coming from with regards to over population of foxes potentially killing there own animals.. then again it seems rather barbaric.
No doubt that the act will get revoked by the lords, but they're planning on enforcing a parlimentary act to get it through. Seems labour have suceeded in banning something else
