HUNTING is not a rural way of life. It is a rural way of death and destruction for those who live, work or visit an area where hunts rampage through the countryside.

Discrimination exists in the law that would make hunting of pets, livestock or poultry with a pack of dogs a criminal offence.

At last the Government recognises that wildlife should be given the same protection from cruelty.
