This is the bit I find all rather unneccessary in all reporting. Whether they are Tory supporting or not is completely irrelevant to fox hunting and only succeeds in polarising dabate once again. The implication presumablty being that, if you are a Tory, you must support fox hunting. This is patently and demostrably, not true.
With the shoe on the other foot, so to speak, there is also a story doing the rounds about a lawyer who has killed a fox with a baseball bat in his London garden. This is now being reported as 'anti-Brexit lawyer murders fox.' Again, what does his political persuasion matter and why is it relevant?
