SPECTATORS at fox hunts, like those over the Christmas, are hardly paid-up supporters like the handful of regular hunt followers.

The majority of MPs were not called down when the reading of the Protection for Circus Animals came up.

The public will not be convinced that hunters are allowed to slaughter foxes or any living creature in their way.

Cruelty to animals is punishable by law which must apply to the hunters as well.
