Tim Bonner: "Time to take the hysteria out of hunting debate"

Countryside Alliance Chief Executive Tim Bonner wrote for the Yorkshire Post at the start of the hunting season. In "It's time to take hysteria out of the hunting debate", published on 3rd November 2015, Tim wrote "...the Hunting Act was never really about saving foxes – it was about stopping people wearing certain clothes riding around the countryside or having fun. The idea that 10 seasons after the act came in hunts still meet at pubs, hunt balls still take place and on December 26th around 250,000 people will turn out in market places and stately homes across the country to support them, really infuriates the antis."
