Status during Level 4 and Level 3: Allowed activity

Why does this bother me? It's not so much I couldn't go hunting. It shows that decisions made by this government are not based on facts, but ideological and emotional preferences.

Lets not pull our punches, at the first opportunity this government seems dead keen to persecute hunters. So my concern is not just their behaviour during Covid-19, but what other excuses will they take advantage of now they've had a taste of the power they can wield against hunting and other activities they don't like.

That's the feeling I have, it's not that the Govt thinks hunting is inherently risky during the alleged illegal lockdown, it's because they don't like it.
