None of the above...

Today is the official start of the hunting season apparently, and of course this is the first seaon where traditional fox hunting is now banned. There are polls in the papers from both the pro- and anti-hunting sides today claiming majority public support. Well they can't both be right, can they? But are they in fact both wrong? I'm always highly suspicious of public opinion polls, because it all depends on the question being asked, not to mention the circumstances in which it's being asked. I would imagine that, if presented with a truly open question with no undue pressure, the reality would be that some 10-15% of people are opposed to hunting, some 10-15% are in favour of it, and 70-80% couldn't care less.
