Don't get me wrong i do agree with you .It is a half assed piece of legislation that has more loopholes than a crocheted dioly.
The pro hunt lobby cannot complain though if the aim of foxhunting was to control foxes as they have always claimed then it is a success as more foxes are being killed .
As i evidenced earlier in the thread hunt membership has gone up with none of the mass hound slaughter ,job losses,or hunt closures predicted ,so if i was a pro hunt lobbyist i would perhaps just keep quiet .
And as you quite correctly said in your earlier post the government have far more important things to use the available parliamentary time on
