hunt

i have to own up here i am a veggie - and i am a veggie for a couple of reasons i didn’t like the idea of the chemicals that were being pumped into animals to make them nice big fat and juicy (basically i didn’t really want to start sprouting mantits thanks to hormones in the food i was eating). the second reason was that there were not much in the way of meat i really liked. but as far as the animals are concerned the reason that they are here is so that they can be turned into burgers, kebabs, fish fingers and steaks.
but there is something about the hunt lobby that gets right up my nose.
they go on about how they have to keep the fox population down – well i am pretty sure shooting the fox is going to do that rather than letting the hounds tear it apart (and it would be economically more efficient – a bullet has to be cheaper than a pack of hounds). then they go on about how the hunt is a social event – well if you are that keen on meeting up with your mates in the morning just do it – get on your horse, put your riding jacket it on and go tally hoing i am not sure what the fox has to do with it – unless they like to see things killed at the end of the social hour.
but really what it comes down to, what my hate of them boils down to is a few simple things:
they were the fuckers who voted thatcher and the tories in 3 times.
they were the people who backed thatcher when she was decimating the mining communities, while they pushed unemployment up and created inner city despair (and have we ever recovered from that).
they are the people who wanted to see privatisation come in but are the first to want a postal service and transport service that is subsidised for them.
they are the people who complained about secondary picketing etc – but look at them now, protesting and causing disturbances.
as one of them said today "in a democratic country it’s a right to disobey unjust laws" oh except if you are a rambler.
wankers one and all.
so basically i see the end of the hunts as being a belated victory in the class war. it’s not even an important one – but it really does hurt them.
besides if they want to hunt something they can get that big bloke from the cbi out – let them chase after digby jones each weekend – he could do with losing the weight.
