Just remind me how many successful prosecutions there have been under the Hunting Act to date.

look it up yourself darling.

I did - 5 people from 3 hunts in 4 years...the numbers are bolstered by those who could have been prosecuted under existing poaching laws, but the RSPCA used the Hunting Act.

This rather suggests to me that given all the effort the hunt monitors have been going to that they haven't managed to find significant evidence of the widespread law breaking that they keep trumpeting.

And would you kindly stop calling me darling, I am not your darling and never will be.

I dont really know what your point is love. I'm not a hunt monitor, i have never claimed to be and i have never made any statements regarding prosecutions, so its lovely of you to offer me that infomation but you are really wasting your time.

I am sure we can all manage to have a discussion without antagonising each other.
Everyone is allowed an opinion and winding each other up with more than an opinion is pointless...

Well unfortunately i had an opinion on one of Claires posts and was then accused of claiming to being psychic. Quite sad.

My comment is applied across the board.. I should've been a little more specific. Understanding peoples opinions is important to personal growth.. what isn't important is going out of ones way to wind up another person with sarcasm and digs..
This is a collective comment so don't anyone be offended as an individual, we are all guilty as charged but it isn't constructive. Rather amusing at times though I might add.
