Same old (s)tories

Why are we still having a debate on hunting? It is a cruel and barbaric activity that inflicts dreadful suffering and should rightly be confined to the history books.
Those who want it back clearly have no respect for our precious wildlife, countryside or animal welfare. For it to be one of Mr Cameron's top priorities just shows how little the Conservative Party has changed. It's the same old Tories wanting to drag us back.

Unfortunately there are alot of people who strongly want it bought back, the typical 4 x 4 driver with a 'bring back hunting' logo on their back windscreen. The wealthier upper classes see it as their god given right and unfortunately most of them vote for their own - conservatives - the politacl party of the rich.
I myself would never vote them back in - yes labour have done terrible things but so would and have the conservatives. Fox hunting is so brutal and disgusting along with game keeping - we think we own everything and can snuff out life in the most vile manner.
