    Woohoo!!! No three year wait or other compromise bullshit. Fox hunting, deer-hunting and hare-coursing with dogs will now be banned from February! Rejoice! Rejoice! And who said there's no difference between Labour and the Tories, eh? ;)

    Good News ... at least the government have got one thing right.

    Can't help wondering about the European Court of Human Rights threat though ... I can't see what case they might have, but it's still not over yet.

    Unfortunately this means loads of pro hunt rallies near school in the next couple of months :( Damn the Quorn Hunt!

    It's a village in Leicestershire where they have one of the biggest hunts in the UK. (It's also where I go to school.) Grr.

    it will be interesting to see what happens if and when it actually happens. humans have unbalanced nature so much now that i wander if there is a possibility that foxes would take over the countryside, or wether its true that they are bred just to be killed.

    dont get me wrong, i am completely anti hunting and very glad that this has happened, but there have been cases in the past where culling animals has been the humane thing to do (for example - where deer have over run an area so much that there isnt enough food and the only other option is a slow death from starvation)

    i wander if humans have fucked with nature now to the point that if we left it to its own devices it just couldnt fight back any more?

    just wandered what you guys thought on this one.

    peace and love
