Why is this sham still going on, after The Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act was passed in 2002 ?

Jambutty...when you consider how many times this subject has come up here on AB, its a wonder that people still ask the same kind of question that was posed by Shoota at 12:09 !

The people who Hunt with horses do it for social and networking reasons and they always have done. It is backward and should be totally banned in this day and age. Many landowners in our area have banned them from their land so they tend to gallop up and down the roads between bridleways and over the Common ground sending the sheep and ponies up there into stampede. They have no respect for animals including their own horses that they gallop up tarmac roads and jump barbed wire. The Hunt Servants (employees) 'dispatch' the hounds and sometimes pups that are too slow or who won't hunt properly they are ridiculous wannabee idiots

Just curious as to why it's only Boxing Day hunts they want to ban. Is it OK any other day?

Woofy....13:35...sounds like a very efficient way to control any pest problem.

I am sure that if I were to have a problem with rats, I wouldn't expect the local Council, or Rentokil to arrive at my house on horseback

By the way, I haven't been able to get on here for the last 2-3 hours, but I am still waiting for an answer to my question of 12:09 from Shoota.
