THE passing of the Hunting Bill marks a change to hunting not the end of it. With wild animals to be replaced by the humane alternative (drag hunting) the pastime is elevated from barbaric blood sport to real sport.

Who better than Prince Charles to set up a pack of royal drag hounds? With the scent laid and route chosen to mimic an animal hunt, few followers would realise the difference.

Your readers could lobby their future king to consider this step to unify our country at a time when division is threatened.
