About Telegraph: Hunt Bill's tests 'could ban meat from farms'
Telegraph: Hunt Bill's tests 'could ban meat from farms'- Charles Clover and Andrew Sparrow. Dr Douglas Wise, a lecturer from Cambridge University, criticised the Bill's definition of 'utility' because it excludes economic, environmental, social or cultural reasons. If applied generally, it would ban farming to produce meat, poultry, fish or eggs, as well as fishing and shooting. "The Government's presumption that it is wrong to take the lives of wild animals for recreation or entertainment is inconsistent with its declared commitment not to interfere with other field sports."
