I'm not especially happy about this particular decision, but I'm emphatically not unhappy about it. I see fox-hunting as a fairly barbarous activity, so there's a sense in which I'm a bit happier to be living in a country which now has one less form of legal barbarism.
That's just a kind of background happiness though - the issue of fox-hunting is nothing like as important to me as it is to you. If you want a serious debate on the issue, I'm not the person to be talking to. And as I said earlier, it's all up for grabs at the next general election, where I'm sure the Tories will be promising to shelve the ban. The energies of the pro-hunt lobby should be directed towards that, I'd suggest, rather than people like me who are simply disinclined towards barbarism.
