Thanks for the reply Creeky, as you say a democratic society sets a level of moral standard that becomes upheld by law and over time as things come to the attention of a wider public then yes perhaps certain pursuits may follow the way of Hare Coursing and **bleep** Fighting. I questioned the relevance of the Century we are in because I’d have thought in no small way the advancement of communication technology and education could be identified as factors in the progression of such attitudes and laws rather than the Century number. What may trouble some is how morality is established. It seems there’s always going to be some interest group pressuring the law makers to see things their way. Once a victory is won on fighting they turn to hunting. Soon will be horse and dog racing, then show jumping and perhaps dog agility. Snail racing, meat eating; is there any end to it?
