Should the next Conservative Gvt scap the ban on Fox hunting.

[Normal Rob]

Yes - the ban should be repealed with immediate effect.

There are many,many more important issues than this.

How about hoodies hunting shopkeepers with lumphammers?

I live in battersea and came out of my front door at ten past six this morning to be confronted by a fox, it didnt seem overly concerned at my presence either!

Indeed! I was faced with numerous foxes in Barnes early afternoon, although to be fair there are plenty of commons and woodland around there.

I just don't understand why people stick plastic bags with foodwaste in them. My ex-nextdoor neighbours used to put all sorts of food in their bags, leading to an infestation of rats on both our properties - despite having a bin to remove the waste and for it to be recycled.

Sadly,when I come out of my house I see Conservatives all over the place.People shouldn't invent scams and schemes to encourage them.

 

[looney]

I'd like to say I don't care but I'm afraid I do really, and it's got nothing to do with the issue in hand. I just resent the fact that the toffs did absolutely everything they could to obstruct democracy in the first place. So for that reason, I'd like to see the Tories keep it in place.

I'm not holding my breath though. I'd bet good money on the Tories lifting it inside the first year.

Its not democracy and I agree the tories will ditch it but in due course, they have bigger fish to fry than some inept ban.

This was why it was banned in the first place, not because it's cruel, which it probably is, but to appease class warriors like yourself.

If it keeps badly dressed suburban oiks out of the countryside then it's fine by me. Most of them would n't know a Purdey if it was shoved up their burberry clad arses.

Leave things as they are, no need to scrap the law.

 

[User removed 4]

No answer then ?

 

[Perkino]

depends on what you believe, either we are just another animal and so killing off a few pests weather to eat or because we can is just nature. or we are created beings appointed to look after everything.

Do you really need someone to explain the thread to you or is it just your helpers day off?

 

[Curious Orange]

As others have already pointed out it was a waste of time putting the law through Parliament in the first place, so why bother wasting more time going through the process of repealing it?

I think if you were going to do that you'd probably want to bundle it up with all the other pointless/rubbish/badly thought out laws that the current government has introduced since 1997 - which in itself would take a long time...

 

[Superphil]

I think that is in fact a Beretta, I have one quite similar just without the camo! Mine's an AL391 Teknys, this is an AL390.

 

[Gully]

Absolutely not.

My next door neighbour has a dog, who is a really nice chap and a perfect family pet, however in this instance I will state that I consider him a pest because he occasionally barks loudly (this is the defence that the fox hunting fraternity use to justify their actions)...so, I get on my bike (I don't own a horse) don my yellow walking jacket (no self respecting Albion fan would ever wear a red jacket) and chase said dog around town...until he is so knackered that he can't run anymore, which could take some time as he is a springer spaniel...then I jump off my bike and tear him apart with my teeth, hopefully killing him quickly so he doesn't suffer unduly.

Now, if I were to do that I would rightly be described as barbaric...what Government would ever wisely consider bringing forward legislation to permit anything like that to happen?

 

[clapham_gull]

As twice as many conservative MPs support the ban as those who want repeal, I would think it unlikely Cameron will do anything.

No you wouldn't.
You would simply be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Poor Springer. We have a little brown Springer called Boko. She's a Great Cat Catcher, barks like buggery but full of fun and love
