Hunt problems

IRISH hunt followers declared war in a futile attempt to prevent the outlawing of stag hunting with hounds.

From the ranks of the various strands of Ireland’s hunting community, an army was assembled Battle plans were drawn up by hunting generals who ordered in extra supplies of mis-information, innuendo, personal attacks and economic blackmail. Given that hunting supporters have yet to accept that the war is over, it could still be a long campaign.

It will fall to those kind of heart to break it to those cruel of heart that the war is actually over.

On the surface hunting folk operate in normal mode but on the hunting field arena the mask slips and the true extent of their addiction is shown.

Their deeds towards wild animals would shame anybody with a shred of compassion in their being.

A ban on staghunting starts this long overdue process.
