Default Friction and Facts

Quote:
We could be seen as working with RSPCA and other respected charities rather than the questionable Countryside Alliance.
Sorry, we definitely disagree on this one. I was on the Countryside march in London and it is the RSPCA with it's propaganda that was questionable.

I do have trouble with this assumption that country dwellers are all pro hunting.
True and the reverse applies to Urbanites being anti-hunting.
Insofar as animal welfare is concerned, re-opening all the Local Abattoirs that were closed by E.U. edict is one quick and easy solution.
You can be an animal lover, but you can also be a realist:
The animal 'rights' people who released all those mink a few years back caused untold devastation to the native wildlife.
Badgers do spread T.B. among cattle and their numbers should be controlled.
Animal Testing for medical reasons has saved peoples lives - Would I sacrifice a 'puppy' if it saved my child's life - Yes!
If you wear leather shoes why object to Fur which is raised specifically for that purpose. All those Eskimos can't be wrong.
People are too separated from what they buy and consume from the supermarket. Let them work on a Farm, see how hard it is, get paid below the minimum wage for working hours on end, and have to go and kill a chicken if they want to eat their next meal. Now there's a reality check I'd love to see these Champagne Socialists go through. What should be on UKIPs' agenda is New Labours Mugabe style treatment of UK Farmers and the Countryside; and 'Fair Trade' not just for the Third World but our own home grown Producers getting gouged by the Supermarket chains. This issue is far from over..................
