Chicken hunt?

Another protest ,another failure to attend:

MORE than 150 pro-hunt campaigners turned out in Todmorden yesterday to protest at the Government's ban on the sport as a conference met to discuss the future of the countryside.

...

Rural Affairs Minister Alun Michael, who piloted the recent legislation to ban fox hunting through Parliament, had been due to address the conference, but failed to attend.

Meanwhile, another huntsman states that he will continue to hunt after the ban comes into force.

And another who says:

"The whole thing about democracy is it only works if you respect minority views"

Not strictly the case but I know where he's coming from.

Democracy is loosing respect among disaffected minority groups. What a legacy.
