The anti-hunting activists are pressing their advantage wherever they can.
And some prissy lawmakers are letting them.
For a place with such a rich hunting history and tradition, it’s sad that it’s come to this.
There is pressure to REVOKE all hunting licences in … of all places … England.
On ‘National Trust’ land. (Basically, State land and Heritage sites.)
Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes is one of 50 National Trust members backing the motion to revoke all hunting licenses.
He told The Observer: ‘These hunts are still killing foxes, hares and stags – and are being allowed to do so on National Trust land. Hunting is despicable, cruel and has no justification in modern Britain. If the National Trust wants to truly preserve and protect our environment, it needs to stop condoning hunting, in any guise, immediately.’ –DailyMail
Is the public rightly outraged?
The majority of people in Britain support the Hunting Act and the ban on fox hunting, according to a recent YouGov poll, and earlier this year, Theresa May axed plans for a vote on repealing the legislation. –DailyMail
Isn’t that so typical, now that the free citizen no longer faces charges of death of dismemberment for hunting game in ‘the king’s forest’, that the STATE is trying to strip their rights to hunt at all.
They began nibbling around the edges. Outlawing some things that were gratuitous and violent — Bull and bear baiting or cockfighting, for example.
Then they banned deer hunting with dogs in Scotland.
And otter hunting.
Since the 80’s, there has been a push to outlaw hunting with dogs completely.
Countryside Alliance’s head of Hunting told The Observer: ‘To ban legal hunting activities on the grounds of protecting flora and fauna would suggest that dog walking and exercising horses across National Trust land should also be banned.’-DailyMail
Wow, these guys are literally winding the clock back 900 years.
What’s next? Capital punishment for killing a stag in the king’s forest?
Seriously, these folks in the UK need to grow a pair.
If a person looked to Scripture and paid particular attention to the passages within the Bible that address the topic of hunting, then they’d walk away thinking not only is hunting animals tolerated but it is endorsed by God. And that’s exactly what this little book is about: proving that God, from Genesis to Revelation, is extremely cool with hunters and hunting. I’ll go out on a biblical limb and claim right off the bat that you cannot show me, through the balance of the Bible, that the God of the Scripture is against the responsible killing and the grilling of the animals He created. ~Doug Giles
