The whole issue was totally taken out of context.
Should we bring back other cruel animal 'sports'? |

Dress it up as a 'sport' to make it easier to swallow. Along with 'tradition' and that it is a ****ry thing townies just don't understand. |

QUOTE (Biker1 @ Dec 28 2010, 12:27 PM) May I start by stating quite categorically here that I DO NOT want to start a debate about Fox Hunting. Good luck with that then. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

I'd like to know what's cruel about some people on a horse running about in a field and then dismounting and running about a bit themselves. Any suggestion of cruelty just shows a knee jerk reaction to a story which probably hasn't been read properly.

Chasing a fox so it can be killed by a pack of dogs is. |

QUOTE (dannyboy @ Dec 31 2010, 01:37 AM) no typo. I don't follow. Were you trying to make a point by deliberately misspelling 'country'? (Which is the only way the filter would have kicked in.) |

Dannyboy, why do you think the NWN should be unbiased in it's reporting.
Can you name another newspaper that is? |
