Barry has already been cheered for his comments, and I find that they are reasonable, and well thought out.
However, they do not really apply to the UK question on fox hunting.
It is not a case of "watching their wild life disappear due to poaching". Fox hunting is no more than a reasonable 'cull'.
It is certainly not a case of 'Hunting for profit', it is an expensive hobby (stabling, tack, etc.,) Angling is certainly cheaper, and more widely available. But, as it is a sport followed by the 'working class' it is not being interfered with (I know there are arguments that fish don't feel pain, but they're dubious). Fox hunting is an indulgence of those who can afford to hunt, and thus a valid target for a left-wing government.
The government required a study on hunting, and it was headed by Lord Burns. They have since studiously ignored the response to their study
Some of the arguments can be seen Here

I must add that I have never hunted, nor intend to. But I've read the arguments, and see nothing (other than class envy) which would ban fox hunting while allowing fishing to continue.
