Back the ban?

December 26th, 2009 | Author: Paul

@kerrymp (Kerry McCarthy) has been tweeting about “Back the ban” which is a campaign to keep the ban on hunting with hounds when they actually kill mammals with their teeth.

While I support the League against Cruel Sports, I will not be backing this campaign because it is a Labour one and I am uncomfortable with the party tag.

I happen to believe that the current situation is an excellent compromise, because it allows people to exercise their sport while outlawing the most vile part of the exercise.

If the Tories are stupid enough to repeal the law, then so be it. I have learnt that, over the years, so much hot air has been wasted on this stupid issue that it is not worth wasting any more on it. I can even remember a heated debate about it at my sixth form debating society – and that was 33 years ago!
