I SEEM to recall that some time ago, Tim Pinney went to great lengths to insist that the Countryside Alliance and the hunting fraternity were composed of people from all walks of life and did not consist only of the upper class bracket.

That being so, I find it rather strange that he now seems to be claiming class distinction and prejudice against an "unjust law" as he puts it.

But is all this really worth the terrorising of an animal and seeing it torn to pieces just for pleasure?

I am sure that no one objects to them going for a ride in the countryside, as long as they respect, and do not invade private property.
