I am proud to be part of an ancient tradition that means so much to so many people. Not the Quarry species. Foxes will be controlled with or without hunting, so the Question on control is not whether but how . Any wild mammal confined to merely pest status faces an uncertain future. Not the conservation and landscape of our unique countryside.
Country sports provide an incentive for biodiversity.
Not the social and cultural way of life that bonds rural communities together. Not rural economies and employment. Facts confirmed by the Burns Inquiry. Farmers, landholders and keepers often rely on hunting for pest control. A ban on hunting would put up to 13,600 jobs at risk.
