    Clark was radically pro-animal rights, but a bit convoluted on hunting.

    He refused to allow it on his land, and made many disparaging remarks about it in his diaries, yet (I think quite rightly) he saw factory farming and fur as a much greater evil than fox hunting or shooting.

    As a country squire he would also have known that if they weren’t hunted, many more country foxes would be killed by shooting and baiting.

    As well as political expediency, this may explain his confused position.

    Thanks for the info Hemelig

    I remember being shocked by Clark’s prominent role in demonstations against the export of live cattle from Shoreham to France in the mid 90s

    He was quiterefreshingly accepting of the charge that he cared more for animal welfare than that for some humans
