End Hunting!

A rare act of engaged activism: I went to the London Rally to End Hunting. People think hunting with hounds was banned twenty years ago, And it sort of was but something called "trail hunting" is legal. The claim is that someone lays down a trail which the hounds follow, but in fact, in the vast majority of cases that is just a smokescreen and fox-hunting has continued unabated.
So, there's a "public consultation" and then the issue of banning trail hunting may be banned too.
The rally, organised by the League Against Cruel Sports, was meant to put a spotlight on the importance of anti-hunt folk (according to polls, 80% of the population) engaging in the consultation, as you can bet your bottom dollar that the hunting fraternity will have their blood-thirsty minions filling in the forms.
Badgers are the forgotten victims - their setts are blocked by the hunt (an action that is already criminal) to prevent the fox going to ground.
Anyway, I made a film.
Well done!
