**The Conservatives, if they form the next government, have promised a free vote on a hunting bill in government time. A Tory spokesman commented: "The ban is a bad and expensive piece of legislation but [repeal] is absolutely not a priority."**
Tally Ho!
Please hunt responsibly. Practice the three S’s.

As Oscar Wilde said of fox-hunting, the unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.
They left their front door open due to warm weather?! Have these people ever hard of a screen door ... a window unit air conditioner ... an electric fan?
That damned Fox News....Oh, sorry they meant the animal.
I stayed at a hotel, across the river from Big Bend and up river about a mile. (My point is, I was in downtown London). I was waiting for a taxi about 5 in the morning. And a fox came trotting down the middle of the street. I watched it from about a block away and it passed right by me. That was the LAST thing I expected to see at 5 am on a London street. But they surely are there.
The sad answer is that something like this usually is what is necessary to jolt the liberal, soft-environmentalist suburban population awake to realize that wild animals are, well, wild. The fox isn’t some cute cartoon fox—a wild fox will kill a baby just as soon as look at it. Its the same in the US. The liberal city population expands into the country. Development after development goes up in once wild areas. And they are populated by the same people who want to ban guns and who think hunting is barbaric. Then a bear or cougar, which has had its hunting grounds reduced, kills a dog or cat, they go ballistic. The police shoot it and all their environmentalism goes out the window.
27 per square mile in urban areas? Is that for real? That’s basically the way we have raccoons here. I thought foxes were some sort of endangered species or something and that’s why the fox hunting controversy existed. Guess I was wrong.
Wise up, formerly Great Britain.
