So he thinks the ban is a mistake 'cos it's difficult to enforce? Isn't that because it's not a ban, it's a series of loopholes put there by his lot to help his mates avoid it being enforced? He could try actually banning it. Or would that be hard to enforce because 200 people on horses tooting horns and dressed in scarlet would be hard to see?
While they gallop around the countryside and enjoy it by terrorising and killing its inhabitants.

I can barely stay in this thread as the horrors are on the verge of overwhelming me, but I just want to add my support. I am a country dweller born and bred and I've known far too many hunters and shooters. I also abhor every farmer I've ever known - people think because they are country dwelling farmers that they are the experts of the 'ways of the contryside' and its management. They're not. Mono culture. DDT, organophosphates etc. Ripping up hedgerows + destroying ecosystems. BSE. You know the list.

In my experience, farmers will exploit people, animals and the land for maximum profit and I've witnessed some horrors, believe me.
