Someone from the hunt hoipoloi is always quoted as saying
“Numbers have been consistently good since the ban came into force a couple of years ago,” she said. “A lot of people didn’t know or care about hunting before but since the Hunting Act has been in the news a lot of people have thought they will go along and see what the fuss is about.”
But doesn’t anyone wonder that perhaps the increase in attendance is due to the fact that hunts aren’t legally allowed to kill wild animals with a pack of dogs anymore. Maybe that’s why more people are attending?
