Now doubt you feel the same way about:
Dance instructors
Actors
Comedians
Artists
Atheletes
Footballers (all sportsmen in general)
etc,etc,etc
Let alone all the people that workm in the countrys various service industries.

True, but I interpreted that you stood on that side of the argument.
This is the issue though.
The peoples interests weren't taken into account.
The government for their own reasons wanted to ban fox hunting, I don't think the vast majority of people in the country cared.

I deliberately used the term
improve someone's life when referring to the service industry. Even staff in a supermarket make life easier for people by providing the things we need.
Dance instructors - keep us fit (life improving).
Actors - Provide escapism keeping us sane (life improving)
Comedians - Make us laugh (life improving)
Artists - Add richness to the mundane (life improving)
General sports people (not overpaid footballers) - give us something to aspire to (life improving).
