:01:19. > :01:25.is going to lend us a car to get home but we are in trouble and our

:02:01. > :02:03.launched a new campaign film to rekindle awareness of the ban. Pro

:02:04. > :02:12.hunt supporters also say the ban doesn't work. It is very difficult

:02:13. > :02:18.for them to go out on a regular basis when dealers such a fine line

:02:19. > :02:23.between what is legal and what is not. We feel the legislation should
