To me, this is an outcome much more contrary to the public interest than is an activity such as fox hunting where no public interest issues have been raised. Should those pressing this issue be successful we must all ask ourselves as to what liberty will be next taken away as a result of the well funded special interest groups that purport to be the moral adjudicators of our society. They have already disrupted the Grand National on one occasion on the grounds that they believed that horse racing is cruel. I am, however, a strong believer in civil liberties and that liberties of a minority should be respected, even if a majority finds the exercise of those liberties distasteful. The thought process behind this bill is akin to that when governments tried to legislate sexual morality.
Some people are so intolerant.
Anne Carney from the States has some interesting points.
