Foxhunting ban ends on 17 December

Government vets have judged that the UK ban on foxhunting imposed last February to prevent the spread of foot and mouth can be lifted next month.   The only exceptions will be parts of Cumbria, the Welsh borders and North Yorkshire where pockets of the disease may still remain.  

This will be a great day for a fine traditional activity, and a great start to restoring the areas devastated by Tony Blair’s mismanagement of the epidemic.   Join the Countryside Alliance and go out and support your local pack.   Let your MP know that you are doing so and don’t forget to remind her how foxhunting maintains the rural environment for all of us to enjoy.     

If the next foxhunting ban is imposed by the bleeding heart townies, it will be much more difficult to reverse.
