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 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. |

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. |
