In the Monday issue of the Independent the political minefield in which Hunting must now operate was made painfully clear.  During the recent negotiations between the Green Party and the Government, Hunting was once again used as cheap bargaining tool.  In order for the government to achieve the Green’s approval for NAMA ten items of the Green’s  prioritized wish list were granted.  Number 3 on this list was “End Stag Hunting”.  This so called sweetner for the Green Party is a very bitter pill for the Hunting community in this country.  At least this current process of horse trading has removed any wool from our eyes.  Hunting has a major battle for survival on its hands.  For all of us who live in the countryside and love and enjoy country sports the time has come to make our voice heard.  Please make your voice heard by contacting your local TD and or writing to your local papers with the positive news about Hunting.  The news that over 300,000 people in this country participate in country sports and we are here to stay!  we will not be banned by cheap political antics from a party which is unrepresentative and uninformed about country life.
