Hello from Scotland
Yesterday the British parliament had a free vote on a bill to ban hunting with dogs. Britains MPs from all partys could vote as they wished and sadly the vast majority voted to BAN fox hunting with hounds also other types of hunting with dogs.................
The city slickers are the majority now fewer and fewer people work on the land or are envolved with rural activities unfortunatly this leads to mass ignorance and a "Beatrix potter" veiw of wild life as people have lost contact with nature.
I fear this is only the first step, hunting with dogs first, then driven Pheasent shooting and duck hunting etc and finally fishing !
It might sound crazy to you yanks but ive spoken to these guys...........
they even see fisherman as SCUM ! Sadly the fisherman who are large in number gave the hunters NO support as they see them selves as better less "blood thirsty" trouble is the anti's do'nt !
So finally to finish other wise i could go on all night take this as a warning........ You may think "it could never happen hear" thats what we used to think ! And perhaps your right- Now, but what about in the future ?
I am totally disgusted with our politition's and the double standards, they preach tolerance and understanding of minoritys and then close their eyes !
Regards "sad" Englander
P.S- Any jobs going in Canda,Alaska or New Zealand i need to off this over crowed little Island.
