Vile

Maybe, it is because Ì was bought up properly by my parents, that I have always loathed hunting animals for sport. The idea of killing animals for pleasure is repugnant to me, although I am no soft touch with regard to animal welfare. I love my meat, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb - love it all. I accept that there is almost certainly a lot of animal mistreatment that goes on before I get my Sunday Roast or Chicken Madras. The human race have always been carnivores and you have to accept this. I also reluctantly accept that some animals have to be used in medical research. I would willingly sacrifice a few babboons, if it meant a cure for Cancer was closer, for example.

But the idea of hunting an animal, (like that beautiful dear pictured above) to death for pleasure, should disgust any decent human being. The idea of chasing a fox, with a pack of hounds, till it is exhausted, and then ripping it to shreds brings me to tears, just thinking about it. This is why it is a disgrace that my party, The Labour Party, has not properly enforced it's own ban. Labour should have announced very strict penalties for breaking the ban.

Minister's timidity when faced with the hunting elite, got the better of them. The wax jacket wearing countryside scum who hunt, never vote Labour anyway, and we should have said to hell with them. It was brilliant that we banned it. Why have we not properly enforced it?

It has been revealed in the Sunday papers, that our friend Dave Cameron is not only a keen supporter of fox hunting, but is also a keen deer hunter himself. I thought his spin-doctors would have buried this information long ago, but i'm glad it is in the public domain. The image of a man who likes to blow the heads off of poor defenceless animals for fun, does not sit with his hug a hoodie, call me Dave persona. The genuinely evil people in The C*ntryside Alliance will love him even more of course, which is good news for Labour.

Come on Gordon Brown, awake from your winter hibernation and smell the political coffee. Use this to your advantage and announce that your first home secretary will tighten up the law on hunting, and consign this barbarism to the dustbin of history. Any so called animal lover, tempted to vote Tory, needs to know that they are voting for a man who likes to slaughter animals for his own pleasure. The mask of surburban normality has finally slipped from Cameron's smug face. We are getting the true measure of him, and it is an increasingly vile portrait.

Amen. Anyone who has ever been the subject of a dog attack knows that forcing a wild animal to be chased by a pack of dogs is an act of torture.
