It's hard to believe fox hunting will be banned in England. Seems like it could never happen here but it can and will if we let it. The most important thing we can all do is VOTE.

By the way, check out how the voting is going when you look at the story on CNN.

Man this is scary, especially when I voted and saw that 56% of the voters were for the ban. We need more than ever to ban together to fight for our hunting rights. The same people who want it banned there want it banned here, and what really hit me was the final statement from the huntsman int he story, stating that the hunters are in the minority; because they are country people, but the city people control the vote. Think about that, it could happen here too.

It already is happening. The congress is trying to do away with the electoral vote. If they make it an individual vote, the high population centers will elect all of our presidents from that point on.

Here is a great film about the fox hunt in England.
http://www.filmstransit.com/hunt.html

I was able to email the fellow from the movie a few years ago & he told me he expected tough times like this ahead. He also told me there are two versions of the film. I think he said there is one that has an extra 20 minutes.

Anyway, if you can find this film, it is really worth watching.
