An act of barbarism
It is Boxing Day and the hunts will already be out and about indulging in their traditional sport for this day. I am with Ralph Cook on this. He says in the Western Mail today that "Welsh hunts do not control fox numbers and Welsh lamb losses are mainly the result of the weather conditions and bad farming practice. The only difference between the English shire hunts and the Welsh 'workaday' hunt is that Welsh hunts cause more suffering." Hunting is barbaric and cruel. It is not even an efficient form of pest control. The sooner that this Government keeps to its promise and bans hunting with hounds the better.
