David Charters, Daily Post. Long article about the Waterloo Cup, coursing's major event. Joining

groups ever being reconciled except perhaps by the ECHR.

Post-Gazette: Hooray for smoking, drinking and fox hunting
Dennis Roddy. The Pittsburgh columnist ridicules the British attempt to outlaw foxhunting based on
their Robespierre certitude that pleasure must have a point, and nothing to do with compassion for
foxes. He objects to legislation by people who consider everyday life the pursuit of the
incorrigible.

Western Mail: Hunting ban `is a rural disaster'
The year-old ban on fox hunting in Scotland has cost jobs, lost tourism business, has become a
legal minefield for farmers, and has adversely affected fox welfare. Before the law, the fit fox
more often than not always got away and it was the infirm or old fox who was caught. Now the law
requires that all flushed foxes must be shot regardless of age or fitness.
