Background
The proposed ban is riddled with contradiction in the context of animal welfare (AW), and its perceived issues are far outstripped by food imports not regulated to British standards. One can only conclude this choice weighs significantly more in the favour of banning countryside pursuits than it is AW reform.
Rural life underpins British national heritage and must be preserved at all costs, free of hyperbole from activists, nor weaponised as an appeasement tool for backbenchers.
