Without debating the rights or wrongs of the hunting ban, I think you'll find that it is supported by more than a "vociferous minority group." The latest ORB poll, asking the question "To what extent do you personally support or oppose the recent Government ban on hunting with dogs", shows that support for the ban is still around 45%, with 30% opposing and 23% undecided.
The 45% support hardly makes for a "vociferous minority group." In fact, I'd almost go as far as to argue that the introduction of the hunting ban was the government's response to the will of the majority of UK citizens. Support for the ban was as high as 63% in 1999 and 2000.
