Thers's no point going round in circles.
My opinion is that the ban should be overturned, I doubt it will be.

So i was correct ,a random remark with no basis in fact
All the facts prove that hunting is enjoyed by people from all walks of life more so since the ban ,so it is no longer a sport solely for the upper classes ,if it was before
more foxes are being killed ,so the pest control aspect is being satisfied better than before the ban
employement in the hunting industry has remained at the same level or in some cases a slight up turn
In short the hunting industry is doing better now than before the ban
