I was merely making the point that using many people, dogs and horses to catch one fox is not, in my opinion, efficient. I would be suprised if there weren't more efficient methods of fox capture available. However, even if one hunter did need a horse and dog to help him catch the fox, surely that is more efficient that dozens of them?

Still, all this is a side issue, the left-wing idealoges are having a party at Westminster and are making a mockery of democracy. Democracy doesn't just mean that the majority dictates what the minority is allowed or not allowed to do.

I may be over simplifying here, but isn't the law supposed to reflect what the average person would consider acceptable? Therefore, if the majority of people object (or agree with) fox hunting, isn't it perfectly reasonable to assume that the average person would largely agree with the majority?
Or have I got it wrong, and is democracy (and the law) supposed to reflect the minority opinion (which is what you appear to be saying)?

The only crumb of comfort here is that this singularly odious piece of legislation will be repealed the moment the Tories are back in power.

Why is it odious?
