When a government starts out by banning something we should all worry because once they get a taste for it,it's not long before they are looking for the next issue to ban. |
Yes I have always maintained it was a vote against the toffs, if they were generally concerned with animal welfare they'd have done some thing about battery chickens.

I take it you disagree with the banning of bear-baiting Arthur? I mean that too had been going on for donkeys years until it was banned, so therefore by your logic there was nothing wrong with it.
If you were to read the vast majority of the anti's posts you'd have realized that people don't have a problem with humanely dispatching "problem" foxes, what tends to irk is the fact that morons want to take pleasure in the terrorizing and killing of an animal.
How on earth can any compassionate person argue for such a barbaric practise? especially in the name of "sport".

Is bear baiting banned, bit pointless if it is, we killed of all our bears centuries ago, Arthur baiting on the other hand seems to be thriving
A statistic which caught my eye years back was on the first day of hunting after the ban was brought in more foxes we killed than in the entire years previous hunts.
