Foxes are vermin with a nasty habit of attacking children and small household pets and I find the hypocrisy of the anti-hunting class warriors quite appalling.

If these people really cared about animal welfare, they would oppose the barbaric practice of religious slaughter that happens every day in this country.

These methods are so cruel that if they were shown live on TV it would be banned.

We must then ask ourselves why this has not happened. Might it be that the Government is scared of losing the votes of the large ethnic minorities who follow this practice?

The Conservatives and Liberals also seem strangely quiet on this, as does the RSPCA.

The Parliament Act that Blair has threatened to use in order to enforce this anti-hunting legislation is the same as the one Adolf Hitler used to stifle democracy in Germany. The hunt protestors have done us all a favour by exposing the monstrous charade the politicians are attempting to inflict on us.
