Fox hunting

There will be a free vote in the House of Commons on Wednesday to allow a relaxation of the rules on hunting down foxes - what are your views on this?

Please note that this is not a political post, because party members will not be voting along party lines.

Basically, this is a measure to push through a quick change to the rules, such that it will allow a full pack of dogs to 'flush out' a fox before shooting it......obviously the chances of it being alive by then are remote. (The current rules allow just 2 dogs to be used - but these people don't use packs of 2 dogs, so that isn't convenient).

This is a clear and obvious move to bring back the barbaric act of fox hunting with dogs - something that many groups have continued with, by flouting the law ever since it came in anyway.

Here's a debate on the subject:

I stood and applauded Brian May for his stance on this.
