This is a good article on the Tony Wright case:
http://www.westpress.co.uk/displayN...&sourceNode=145792&contentPK=15020400
"It is understood the hearing will hinge on whether Mr Wright, as the huntsman in charge of proceedings that day, ensured that he had a trained and competent marksman within close range of any fox flushed out by the hounds."
So the League are prosecuting him for NOT shooting foxes which apparently then escaped.
Eh?
It can't be in the public interest for the law to be used to force people to use guns. Surely there is a serious public order issue here. Imagine the public outcry if a law required people to carry guns on the streets of Bristol!
Why is it any different in the countryside?
