When you become the government, you acquire the power to ban some things and to un-ban others. But
first you must have a set of principles to guide you. A ban requires overwhelming public support,
capability of practical enforcement, and not merely because of dislike.

New Statesman: Ban hunting, say MPs in our poll
Caroline Daniel. Kevin Saunders, press officer for the League Against Cruel Sports, claimed that
between the three organisations (IFAW, LACS, RSPCA) at least pounds 5 million would be spent to
suport the Foster Bill to ban hunting. The league has raised pounds 250,000 by mortgaging its
London offices and is considering mortgaging other properties.

New Statesman: The pro-hunting fraternity say they are protecting our countryside. To hunt foxes properly, they need hedges to jump over.
Mary Riddell. There are two things in favour of the hunters' protest. The first is that they are
right. Few things that do not cause human death should be banned. New Baywatch and caravans on
motorways may be exceptions. Fox-hunting is not. The second merit is that, in lauding their own
eco-sympathy, blood-sports fans inadvertently highlight how worried we should be if landscape
management is really down to them.

Gavin Weightman. Whether Mike Foster's bid to ban hunting with dogs succeeds or fails, vulpes
vulpes will remain a fixture in the English countryside, thanks to the hunt.
