Hunting is for the history books only
THE other evening while watching the BBC Look North programme, I saw a spokesman from the Countryside Alliance talking pompously about how he and his followers want the hunting ban to be repealed.
Perhaps, while they are at it, they would like to bring back cock fighting, slavery, burning at the stake, and other gruesome relics from the ancient past!
Hunting was a vile practice which was basically about a pack of savage dogs chasing innocent animals to the point of exhaustion, and then tearing them to pieces.
It wasn’t about animal management at all. It was, quite simply, about killing animals in the name of sport.
Please let us keep it in the history books where it belongs. It is time to move forwards, not backwards.
