The fox hunting ban is very difficult to prosecute under, has not reduced fox killings and has not reduced hunt participation. It is bad law. Bad law has no place on the statute book.

Is that what you really think it is all about?(pursuing a pastime) and once again like many more like you, money comes into it!!

Surely you can't class fox hunters as 'ordinary people'!
