I don't think they did to be honest. It was a popular pre election manifesto pledge. They didn't promise to ban it as I recall just have a free vote in the house of commons. I think it's actually convenient for organisations like the Countryside Alliance to promote it that way politically and...

Sums up my views 100% Has to form part of a wider debate about animals killed in pursuit of fun not food. The life of a fox is a very small part of it. As apparently a nation of dog lovers I find it surprising the debate doesn't surround the hounds
