I have a point to make in respect of which I might have missed a response. The 85 hunting clubs and the associated dogs represent a somewhat different set of circumstances. I realise they are well looked after in most cases, or in 99% of cases. It is in people's interest to keep the dogs healthy and fit. They are working dogs. I know the subtle difference between pets and working dogs and have no difficulty with that. Are there any data on this? Data are everything. Where could we get more information on the 85 hunting clubs that the delegates referred to in the opening statement?
