From: Peter H Jackson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This has not been well publicised (except by the BDS), but under The Foot-and-Mouth Disease Declaratory (Controlled Area) Order 2001 Made 23 rd February 2001 (and under a similar Order for Scotland?) all hunting and stalking is banned in Great Britain from 5.00 p.m. on 23rd February 2001 until midnight on 2nd March 2001. For details, see: http://www.maff.gov.uk/animalh/diseases/fmd/orders/fmd.PDF and http://www.bds.org.uk (the British Deer Society) Arguably, all other _non-essential_ shooting activities in the British countryside (and particularly target shooting on ranges grazed by livestock) ought to be voluntarily suspended or curtailed, according to individual circumstances. Please accept my apologies if you receive more than one copy of this message. Apologies also to overseas members of the fullbore and BR lists who are not concerned by this problem.
