I think you mis-understand the purpose of the ban ,it was introduced to remove the pleasure aspect of running a fox with a pack of hounds and letting them rip it apart for enjoyment ,the law also extends to other forms of hunting such deer,mink and hares .The old excuse was that fox hunting was just pest control so what about deer,mink and hares are they a pest ? no it was the enjoyment of the hunt ,now in most cases the hunt is still enjoyed without the brutal kill by dogs at the end
As for targeting a specific demographic that is just totaly wrong, people from all walks of life took part in hunting pre ban and still do
