Just in case anyone is still in doubt as to what their local hunts get up to here is Tim Bonner from the Countryside Alliance writing in the Northumberland Gazette:- On November 19, it will be 10 years since the Hunting Act was passed. It came into force six months later. For hunting, and many others in the countryside, this was a real low point, but despite all the fears and the dire predictions hunting still thrives. So how is it that an activity that was outlawed after an epic and bitter political campaign has survived? We can all answer that question but note he is boasting not that it is lawful or exempt hunting that is continuing but rather that it is the illegal hunting that was outlawed by Parliament that survives. Only certainty over what Cameron has promised them next year could make the hunters so arrogantly contemptuous of public opinion.
