The UK citizens have all of my sympathy. First your firearms, then your dogs. All conficated without compensation. Next in line will be the ferrets, fishing poles and cats (catch mice!) Unarmed citizens are subjects not citizens. Hunting is a natural inscent (sp?). All aminals have it (including man). When inscents are surprassed, less desireable behavior takes place. Next thing you know, women and children will be subjected to agression. It will not surprise me if the murder rate rises as man hunts man. The same thing can happen here in the USA! First registration, then confication. Guard our hard won freedoms! we will not be sujects to the government. We have a right to own hunting dogs and ferrets.
