Hunt Hypocrisy:

On Boxing Day 1997 the BBC2 series "Under the Sun" featured the Shropshire-based Ludlow Foxhounds.
Whilst most of the programmee consisted of a particularly long and boring rendition of the pathetic excuses offered by hunters everywhere for the so-called sport, it also included a horrific shooting and dumping of a three year old fox hound which the hunt no longer required.
Unwanted puppies are disposed of, young dogs sthat fail to make the grade as hunters are shot and dogs that coan no longer keep up with pack are routinely shot. The hunting industry killed at least 3,000 unwanted dogs each year.
This is why

Ironically, since the legisla-tion was passed by 68 MSPs to 36, with five abstentions, more foxes have been killed than in the year before the ban.

And I can find research too to the contrary.

Do you see what i am saying?
