Ban predicted within two years
By Peter Foster
ANTI-HUNT campaigners predicted that a ban on hunting would become a reality
within two years.

The argument I always use against banning fox hunting
is that foxes will become extinct in various areas as there will be no
reason to put up with them any longer.

It's a good argument; the Isle of Man is a case in point. Foxhunting

For the first time I've actually seen the intended penalties for hunting
when any ban comes into force.
A maximum of a L5,000 fine.
Having noted that its a maximum and that probably a lesser amount may be
levied I wonder how many people the averag

The irony of the hunting ban - I have my own views on whether we need one or
not - is that if enacted it will strengthen the hand of those wishing to see
action taken against those who presently illegally course hares at night

One of the penalties in the proposal in addition to a L5000 fine is a ban

I disagree with Jonathan's reiteration of arguments in favour of the
efficiency of traditional hunting compared with using a rifle. I have always
been baffled by the bone-headed persistence of the hunting lobby in claiming
that the hounds 'n' horses business is t

You'll probably find that foxes survive surprisingly well in many of
your "greener" suburbs. Very versatile

You tie a rope to the cage and throw it in the farmer's slurry pit where it
drowns in a manner that is guaranteed to excite even those whose taste for
inflicting pain on helpless animals has been otherwise jaded by years of
other acts of cruelty.

I can't speak for the area mentioned but if I take Suffolk as
representative, in areas where foxes predate on income-generating
livestock such as game birds or sheep, they won't be tolerated.
