Just make life more difficult for the drinker, smoker and angler. They could have taxed hunting with dogs or hunting dogs rather than ban it.<br /><br />They seem to love making things difficult for Joe public.Dr Evilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176521760477086914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-54212331350488566772009-04-28T07:36:00.000+01:002009-04-28T07:36:00.000+01:00What terrifies me is that AnimalAid appears to be ...What terrifies me is that AnimalAid appears to be a proper charity, not just a fakecharity like Alcohol Concern or ASH, who are paid to peddle the government line.<br /><br />D'you remember the EU Parliament muttering about banning gas-fired patio heaters a year or so ago? They never passed a law or anything, but all the big stores like Homebase or B&Q appear to have stopped selling them. (They still sell electric ones and chimineas, of course!)<br /><br />Why on earth would the same big stores listen to a bunch of cranks like Animal Aid unless they thought some legislation was going to come in soon? That's what terrifies me - people just jump to the conclusion that things are going to be banned and throw in the towel.Mark Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07733511175178098449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-75099421657544707482009-04-28T00:22:00.000+01:002009-04-28T00:22:00.000+01:00Dick,

Those of us that put up a resistance are in the minority ... which in itself is a little ironic as the minority are the ones that are doing it to us!<br /><br />Our fellow citizens are totally oblivious to it ... it's fucking depressing!<br /><br />Our MP's seem totally uninterested in anything but themselves ... it's fucking infuriating!<br /><br />All there seems left is to go down fighting ... what else can we do?Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845586501410364657noreply@blogger.com
