This is going to be a really interesting one to follow as those who flout the law will be brought before magistrates who may well be in the same hunting fraternity.Will They will be forced to declare their interests. WATCH THIS SPACE-ROSE |

Who do they think they are that they can just flout a law they don't like? If we all did that what sort of a world would we live in. I can' see why they can't hunt one another. They are quick enough to say they don't do it for the kill, why then don't they take it in turns to run and let the dogs chase them. Jean x. |

At least we've had the barbaric hare-coursing at Altcar stopped! And once we pick and choose which laws we observe or don't, then we have no law - just anarchy! |

They are usually rich baskets and are therefore above the law. So they think. Jo. |

I was shocked to hear a hunt leader on the news the other day calling the people who support the hunting ban a 'bunch of mindless bigots'. The words pot kettle and black came springing to mind faster than ever before. Never in my life have I been called a mindless bigot before, how dare he! Liz x |

Agree Daniel. Although we may not agree with them, laws are laws and we have to abide by them if we want to live in a civlised society. |

Dan, From what I heard on the radio this morning, some hunters seem to think there are enough loopholes in the new law to enable them to carry on. CB >|< |

See on the news that some of the hunters are going to carry on despite the ban. What gives them the right to break laws when it suits them? Do they not expect to be punished? Perhaps we should just not pay taxes because they stop us from buying things, or parking fines or whatever. I do hope that those who do decide to go against the ban get justly punished, which seems to be less and less likely these days. |
