Alliance does not speak for us
For 40 years my wife and I have campaigned against abuse of "non-human animals" whether for human entertainment, profit and religious dogma, as well as running our small holding, as other caring, rural people have done.
Now the Countryside Alliance (alias cruel sports lobby) mostly coming from towns and cities have the gall to show concern for issues that are important to the rural dweller.
Yet before the ban they were notable by their absence. So, they speak for themselves not for us, the rural community.
The only support in rural areas come from cruel sports participants and those ignorant of what goes on.
What makes all decent people angry is that after all that time the cruel sports lobby are still allowed to preach their lies and deceit, because of who they are and their pals in the media and politics.
Despite this the decent people of town and country will win through.
The farce of so-called trail hunting and still chasing, tormenting and baiting foxes does not fool anyone. Drag hunting is the only real break from a cruel pastime.
