THE Conservatives are thinking about a free vote in Parliament to see if fox-hunting can be resumed, if they are elected at the general election.
I think to resurrect this repugnant blood sport would be a retrograde step.
The red-coated hooligans with their hangers-on have no regard for the fox.
It seems to excite these people to hunt and kill a defenceless animal which must be terrified beyond belief. It is appalling.
If these hunters want a sport of some description I would suggest they go to help our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and then they will see an enemy which can bite back and will begin to know the true meaning of being hunted, and the terror which grips like a vice.
