THE latest bloodsports attempt to justify behaving like prehistoric man hunting animals is to keep 600 people, ie two employees for each of the 300 hunts, in a job.
They will receive no pity from me when hunting deer, hare and foxes is made a criminal offence.
Hunts have never shown pity to their victims, nor to their dogs and horses, nor to people whose pets have been attacked, nor to children and adults who have been terrorised by them, nor to road users or train passengers or people in their own homes who have been subjected to the nightmare scene of a deer, hare or fox or their own livestock or pets killed by hounds.
They have no pity for their actions, so I will have none for them when the government eventually makes all animal abuse, including hunting wildlife, a criminal offence.
Six hundred people thus made redundant will have to do what all the thousands of others made redundant every week of the year do, get on with it and find another job.
