I gave first-hand evidence based on my own experience to the Burns Committee set up by this Government on hunting foxes.

The committee decided fox hunting was not cruel as so many foxes were injured on our roads and the hounds and huntsmen prevented them from further suffering.

This is not a sport, it is control requested by farmers who lose chickens left with their heads bitten off.

I am a marksman and only kill when necessary.
