icWales: `Legislate on principle not on prejudice'
Leader from The Western Mail. The Minister for Rural Affairs, Alun Michael, has yet to produce evidence in any degree of the "incontrovertible evidence" of deer and competitive hare coursing not meeting such set criteria. Such alleged incontrovertible evidence was not published in the Government's own inquiry into hunting - the Burns Inquiry. If such damning "incontrovert-ible evidence" were so clear, then experts would produce it and agree on it - they have not.
