Wildlife management decisions should be made on the best available empirical evidence. That which is available in this case would see to indicate that hares are in the increase in NI. What therefore was the basis of the decision made by the minister?
Yes, I am disgusted at the arrogance and ignorance of such people that govern our lives as Angela Smith. Petty, pitiable people full of their own importance who know as much about the countryside as they know about honesty and decency, never mind the protection of any species including the hare
Voice of the people? Not likely - voice of prejudice? Yes.
Why not bury the hatchett and leave the country alone - and we won't tell you how to fight crime and poverty in towns...
The 'listening' Government that isn't! Prejudice and bigotry rule - OK? As a shooter I trust New Labour not an inch. Give some MPs and inch and they think they're rulers. Can't wait to vote them out.
This just proves that Labour are out of touch with ordinary people. Their green weel brigade have forgotten that country sports are enjoyed more by working class than the perceived landed gentry. Country sports have no social barriers - more than can be said for Labour politicians
