The recent debate on banning fox hunting has reignited arguments focused on animal cruelty versus the need for livestock protection. Ruth Coppinger, a TD for People Before Profit, has proposed a Bill in the Dáil aiming for a complete ban on fox hunting with dogs, suggesting that such practices are outdated remnants of colonialism and have no place in contemporary society. This divisive issue does not strictly align with a rural-urban divide, contrary to popular belief, making it a broader societal concern.
As expected, recent debate on a proposal to ban fox hunting created the familiar arguments ranging from abject cruelty on the one hand versus the protection of livestock on the other.
People Before Profit TD Ruth Coppinger tabled a Bill on Tuesday in the Dáil calling for an outright ban on hunting foxes with dogs.
