Poacher Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Quite a while ago there was one of those petitions to sign you name on to show Tony and his cronies your support for reppealing the hunting act. Well after all the response and massive number of names collected the reply was as follows "The UK Government is satisfied with the effectiveness of the Hunting Act 2004, which bans all hunting of wild mammals with dogs, apart from the tightly-drawn exemptions set out in the Act. These exemptions are recognised as effective ways of dealing with specific pest control issues. The purpose of the Act, which the House of Commons passed by an overwhelming majority, is to end a practice that a clear majority of people across the country oppose on the grounds that it causes unnecessary suffering. The Hunting Act does not prevent hunts from meeting up or riding with their hounds, nor does it preclude legitimate and humane pest control activities. Since the ban came into effect, evidence has shown that the majority of hunts have continued to meet and ride within the law. The Government welcomes this, as it has meant that the economic, social and welfare problems predicted by opponents of the Act have not materialised. The Government has no plans to repeal the Act." i.e It doesn't matter what you think f-off. I know that signing your name to an online petition wasn't going to move mountains but come on... What do you guys reckon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning GTS Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 This type of s--t goes all the way down to local coucil level, about 2 years ago AVDC sent out a questionair asking people what council tax rise they wanted, it started with the highest and ended with the lowest. The top one included more services and on down the scale. Guess what one got in? Even though in the local paper said most people voted for the lowest one.
