Thread Name: BS: Hunting banned in England/Wales
Subject: RE: BS: Hunting banned in England/Wales
I think that now fox hunting is illegal sooner or later the law will be enforced. there was probably a hardcore of people who insisted on their right to gob on the top floor of the bus, for a while after the law was passed.
I still think the foxhunters could have won the debate, were it not for the nature of the beast. The sheer arrogance of the pro-hunting lobby; their crude dismissal of some people's genuine horror at the cruelty involved; their lack of reverence for the democratic process, it has all worked against them and it shines out from every post on this subject.
If ever there was a case of a group of people being a victim of their own demeanour, this must surely be it.
