I am a country lass born and bred. i live down the road from the lunesdale hunt and i have grown up with hunting, however, i still disagree with it, possibly more so than i would have done otherwise. i would like to hear others views.

Opinion polls show that opposition to hunting among country dwellers is only slightly lower than it is in the cities.

I live in rural Cornwall and disagree with several forms of hunting.

I live in Cornwall, am a farmer's son and have farmed most my life, been hunting on horseback, taken part in the Waterloo Cup and I disagree with hunting.
Baby Bunny if you look at the Cornwall Discussion forum, there are several threads on this subject; some are quite lively. There's even some class poetry (?) on the issue.

No, all people with a shred of humanity in them do.

Qualifications:
I come from a long line of people who've made a fantastic living by clumping about in the mud.
Current situation:
I live in mud.
Hunting experience:
Drag hunting only (it's murder in heels, but hey! it frightens the tourists)
Hunting opinion:
Killing animals for fun is demeaning. The slaughterman doesn't give the calf a head-start before chasing it round the yard - if he did, we'd lock 'im up.
We do a number of stupid things - just because we've done this one for a while doesn't make it any less stupid.
