CONGRATULATIONS to the Scots who have voted to ban fox hunting and hare coursing from their land (February 14).
England has been left behind with its archaic cruel pastime.
Fox hunting should be also banned here in England and Wales as soon as possible. It's inevitable that this torturous so-called sport will be a shameful thing of the past as bear baiting, cock fighting, pig sticking and other vile pain-inflicting pastimes which vanished in the mists of time.
