I very much do understand what you ' re about . I ' m both a vegetarian for ethical reasons and an owner of carnivorous animals , who I hunt with so that they may enjoy a life that fulfills their instinctive desires again for ethical reasons . Although I ' m only 29 , I ' ve been on hunts where sabs have slashed horsebox tires , leaving our horses without proper care , I ' ve been on hunts where people were physically threatened by the thugs . Not to mention I ' ve studied environmental law in my masters and specifically wrote a paper on the implementation of hunting legislation in Scotland . One video of bad practice does not colour the entire hunting community . Just like one video of your saboteurs will not make me prejudice towards you . Your 2 , 000 signatures will not make a difference . If you are actually concerned about animal welfare , as I am , I would seriously , seriously recommend you refocus your efforts towards the meat industry and animal welfare and care during slaughter .
