Where will a ban on hunting end?

Why does this woman so arrogantly presume everyone is against fox hunting? I am not, along with many more people.

She obviously thinks that not only does she want to control and dictate to human beings, but also wants to control nature by suppressing a dog's natural instincts to chase certain animals. No doubt she'd ban wild animals chasing and eating their prey.

I bet Miss Yates cries on a Sunday teatime watching "Big Cat Diaries" -- no doubt while tucking into her Sunday roast.

Alison Yates and people like her are turning this nation into nambi-pambi, hypocritical, softie wimps, who want, demand, control!

This was once a free society, and that is what we should be fighting to retain.

Can I remind her that foxes slaughter hens and sheep for fun, not food, and many is the time they escape during the hunt anyway.

If people and dogs get pleasure from a chase in trying to catch these vicious animals, then so what? I wonder how Miss Yates would feel confronted by a snarling fox?

Nature in the raw is beautiful, sometimes cruel, but necessary.

Where would Miss Yates and people like her end their moaning? Ban fishing, ban horse riding, ban horse jumping, ban zoos, ban dog shows, ban pet shops, ban budgies in cages, ban this, ban that...

Miss Yates, I challenge you to pistols at dawn -- a fight for freedom!
