Sorry, but as much as I loathe fox hunting as well as the next decent person would, it is Manky Mancroft that is urging the hunt masters on and not the Hunt Masters themselves as you incorrectly claim.
Some may do some may not, but let's have it right to start with instead of trying to score points unfairly...Don't jump the gun, that's all I'm saying!

'The email, sent to hunts across the country by Tory peer Lord Mancroft, urges hunt masters to “mobilise supporters” and campaign for pro-hunting Tories in marginal seats'.

I didn't use the word "urging" in my post, nor did I say who was doing what, you've added all that bit in yourself. You do have a tendency to use emotive words that I haven't used like "evil" and "hatred" in your replies to me, as if to suggest that's my language rather than yours.

But really this is semantics, especially now May has explicitly stated that she supports fox hunting. It seems pretty obvious that hunt masters will see a big Tory majority as an opportunity to repeal the Act, given their endless lobbying for exactly that since 2004, not to mention many hunts continuing to flagrantly break the law and let their dogs kill foxes.

Why are you defending the hunt masters anyway - when many of them have been flouting the law for years. I have some friends who volunteer in a north Wiltshire wood so have it on good authority the hounds often chase a fox through that wood. Pretty much the same in Gloucestershire as I've witnessed myself when out walking. Theresa May is hoping for a large majority of MPs after the GE. Therefore if there is a free vote in the House of Commons to repeal the Hunting Act, and she is on record saying there will be, the Hunting Act will be repealed. A travesty in my opinion and definitely not representing the 'will of the people'. Just the will of the rural wealthy ... again. Hunting with dogs for sport is obscene and immoral.
