It's an assertion that sadly doesn't get challenged often enough. So I think it's fair for me to re-post something I said in this thread back in March:



The link is well worth reading. I would be very grateful if some of the people who have been so passionate to assert that hunting with dogs is 'inefficient' and 'unnatural' and 'inhuman' could give a thoughtful, reasoned response to the expert opinion it contains.
The Veterinary Association for Wildlife Management has long been considered the "veterinary" mouthpiece for the pro-hunting lobby and the Countryside Alliance. Their opinion is not considered to be balanced nor unbiased.

Not once in that report do they state who the four hundred are, how their opinion has been sought and what methods they have used to canvas these anonymous members.
