The poll showing that 70% of people in the uk disagree with

Comment on Election 2010 Conservative Petitions and Banning Fox Hunting by Mr Observer.

The poll showing that 70% of people in the uk disagree with fox hunting is probably very accurate.

but if you took a poll of people who live in rural areas and see the outcome, it will probably be 70% for hunting. This ban affects these people, so why are we not polling them first?

The people that support fox hunting aren’t toff’s and eton boys that you all seem to think they are, they are farmers, farm labourers, breeders, trainers and people who have lived in the countryside and experience rural life. Most of them are actually quite poor. The idyll of the country gent riding out in a top hat and red coat is a bit of a myth at least in modern times.

I am neither pro nor anti hunting, I just believe that people should be allowed to decide whether things affect them or not, and have a voice.
