When Hunting is Banned...

...people like Tony Wright become outlaws.

Two things strike me about this report. First, though it is not explicitly mentioned, the p[olice are still rather unwilling to make criminals out of violators of this unjust law.

And this is because the "criminals" are people like this:

"Tony Wright followed his father Sam into hunt
service. He worked with the Heythrop in the Cotswolds and the Quorn in
Leicestershire before moving to the south-west to refine his skills under
legendary Exmoor huntsman Captain RE Wallace in 1982. Wright lives at the
kennels with wife Jill and more than 100 hounds. He says the two horses he
rides are his "best mates" and when his wife is out shares his sofa with
favoured hounds to watch racing. His house and car are owned by the hunt; heworks 60 hours for a minimum wage. But "I've got a millionaire's lifestyle
without the money."

Anne Pearse Hocker says: "I still think they should hire a Mongolian horseman with a Berkut to show them how to really hunt foxes. Might catch on..."

The hard part might be convincing the Kazakh that any kind of hunting was considered wrong. I remember (I think) Mary Jackson in the Spectator a few years ago humorously writing about how to explain a hunt ban to someone in Asia or Africa.
