Tally Ho?
It's Boxing Day and the hunting fraternity was out today, tying itself in knots about their 'sport'. BBC Radio 4 interviewed some hunters, who all said what a jolly good time they had had, following their drag hunts, but they added 'it would have been better if there had been a kill' to finish off the day. Oh, so the thrill of the chase is not enough then, there is a blood lust to be appeased?

This is what I come back with when folks get on my case about the Canadian seal hunt (I'm Canadian). I figure you clean up your own backyard before you start throwing bricks at someone else's. I expect its impossible to police this sort of thing, so the "real thing" is still going on in some hunts.

You're right Ali, It's very difficult to police these things, but the RSPCA and the LACS do their best, and deserve our support. At least the present government haven't repealed the law - yet.
ReplyDeleteI've seen films about the Canadian seal 'cull', and they're pretty hard to watch. I know the rationale about the fishing industry, but is it really necessary?
