So my opinion about this particular thread and the subsequent posts? It's bad enough that human beings, who are supposedly capable of empathy and emotion, treat animals in ways such as above and with so little respect, without useing them as a subject for political point scoring. Furthermore, I doubt that very few people have not participated in or facilitated in the continuation of at least one of the practises above, yet we are prepared to condemn one particular man because he happens to be a politician.

I'm quite happy to condemn this person and not for political point scoring but because of his sickening and arrogant
practices. This thread is not about all the other cruelties imposed on animals though I acknowledge your
point, but many of these practices you mention have their own very vocal dissidents, fortunately.
He is a man of influence and being a politician one would hope has moral integrity, but in my view
has absolutely none.
I do kind of agree.
However, apparently this incident occurred in 2009, the man did not take office until September 2010.
and then of course we have the British Royal Family who condone and participate in foxhunting.
and then there's the various Ministers for Racing and the cruelty that they enable and apparently support.
Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.
I just saw this on Face book and wondered.
