Hate to bore you, then don't make unbelievably crass statements such as, you wished you had a chance to experience a fox hunt before the ban came into force. And yes, you did make that crass statement.

And it took the legislation to come into force for you to realise, "Hey, maybe I can ride without being part of a fox hunt...what a radical concept?". People have been doing that for centuries laura, you should get out more.

So the legislation saved you from taking part in an activity that kills foxes for pleasure. Aren't you lucky, you wouldn't want that on your conscience would you.
