Subject: RE: BS: Hunting banned in England/Wales
The Shambles and GUEST still keep stating that this law is about cruelty, but I wish one of them would explain why it is cruel to rip a fox apart with dogs, but perfectly OK wth a rabbit.

I am not sure that I have stated that this LAW is about cruelty - or indeed about preventing cruelty. What I have said is that those who continue to produce the same old 'red herrings' and comparisons - are defending the practice of a few people who may think that inflicting needless cruelty on any animal (or human for that matter) for the fun of their sport is acceptable.

Perhaps someone would explain why they would wish to churn out the same old rubbish - in order to 'muddy the waters' to support and defend the continuation of this particular cruel practice?
