I will start this thread off with a short quote that I believe explains at least in part some of the reasoning behind the mindless anti types who randomly sign up to H&H in an deranged attempt to persuade forum members of the evil of their ways....
It would appear that to some at least the rural pursuits of fox hunting and shooting are often perceived as the remit of the wealthy and landed proportion of the population. No matter how wrong these perceptions have been shown to be, it has resulted in those involved in hunting becoming the targets of the self-same appointed antis whose often stated mission is to prevent "toffs enjoying themselves" running around the countryside after wildlife.
As showcased on this forum antis' have no appreciation for hunting in its role of wildlife management. In rejecting this traditional management of predator species such as foxes and citing concepts and definitions of welfare provisions that have been shamelessly flinched from other (domestic) animal legislation, they argue pointlessly that all legal wildlife management activities should now also be outlawed and in doing so also reject the very bill that they helped to become law.
Thus legal forms of hunting such as terrier work and shooting are again and again repeatedly attacked by antis, leaving illegal forms of hunting largely ignored because antis' seem to think that those involved in legal hunting activities will be easier targets for such machinations.
However not happy with attempting to destroy generations worth of knowledge and skill in wildlife management, the antis' also maintain an attack on the provisions of the current Hunting Act in the belief that they will get their own way by continually attacking what they don’t like. Using the perverse logic applied in this forum by antis it would appear that the next steps in these attacks against rural areas will result in antis attempting to persuade us that all hunting, shooting and farming ultimatley be outlawed.
