If you have some time...

[ginag16]

I am working on a research project for my final assessment in college and I have chosen to do it on fox-hunting.

I am hoping you could spare the time to give me your views on fox-hunting...how it has affected your lifestyle since the ban...and how it would affect yours lifestyle if it was banned completely,for example.

Many thanks

sorry, dont know you, this sort of thing has cropped up before so am reluctant to give views.

You may have some ethical issues with using responses from a forum as a means of research for example it is difficult to ensure you have peoples full consent as they use avatars and you cannot ensure anonimity of their responses or prevent bullying. (I'm an MSc student and was considering using this forum for my own transport related research until I discovered what a mine field it was). You may be better preparing a questionnaire using something like surveymonkey (which does allow for open answers) or contacting a hunt directly and holding face to face interviews. Alternatively there must be heaps of existing posts on this subject you could do a search of the H&H forum and then reference it as an existing source (similar to a book or magazine). This would obviously be classified as secondary research though.
