ON the subject of the ban on hunting. My husband has been coursing with dogs for over 20 years, and although I myself am against cruelty to animals I would never ask my husband to give up something he has done for most of his adult life.
Why did it take so long to ban it? Because the government was under pressure from the public. Why can't people leave well alone something that has been a part of life and tradition for centuries?
Would they ban fishing? Where do you draw the line?
