Labour attacking the countryside again
 

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has launched a scathing attack on Labour's plans to ban
trail hunting, branding it an "attack on rural communities".


The MP suggested the hunting issue was just "the tip of the iceberg" in what he sees as
Labour's broader assault on rural life.

Did you read that in a reform Christmas cracker

No they don't arista many are injured as are the horses,when they are no longer useful they are shot.its barbaric as is any animal sport, and they dont have a choice,stupid grown ass oeople dressed in their silly red coats etc,they need to grow up and get their jollies some other way. Pillocks on horseback.

Whilst I don't agree with fox hunting it's interesting that in some countries they actively cull them as they're deemed a pest and a threat to wildlife and contributed to the extinction of some mammals. Australia for example where they kill as many as they can.

Not that I think we have this issue and don't think it should be allowed.

Of course, some hound dogs are sadly, injured.


But other packs, are not.


The problem for the Labour Party is
do they want a local war with country folk?

Agreed

I wondered where they get the scent of a fox ..

It's an extremely serious issue
I agree with you totally Kazanne.

I do love the pillocks on horseback quote.

This is why I compare it to Halal and Kosher - killing/culling foxes has a utility, in some areas it needs to be done - same can be said for killing for food.

Fox hunting in the manner that some object to, is an old tradition - as are Halal and Kosher.

The fox population needs to be kept under control, but there's no need to do it in such a cruel way. People "need" to eat meat, but there's no excuse to slaughter them in such a cruel way.

I don't know what to say that will fix that issue if I'm being honest with you.

But I just don't like Foxes being illegally hunted no other reason than "the thrill."

Also these Foxes are being killed for fun/sport.

The reason for why it's happening is hugely important.

If there was none of these despicable trail or actual hunts, then the hounds wouldn't need to bred to supply hounds for the hunts in the first place.
So no need to kill them Mock.

What thrill any disgraceful mind could get too though from chasing and exhausting a fox or in fact any animal, to have it ripped to pieces by trained hounds, is beyond any decency in my view.
I would like this Labour government to go even much further actually.
Actually doing right at last.

^ THIS^

A farmer shooting a fox to protect their sheep is a whole world away from hunting an animal for sport..... its really no different to going on Big Game kills, just because foxes are not endangered it is the same premise, blood thirsty 'sport'

Yeah I agree

There's a humane way, but chasing an animal to exhaustion and then it being ripped apart isn't.

I don't think we have such an issue in this country that foxes need killing anyway

Fair points.

Especially the bottom paragraph, I 100% agree with everything that you've said on that.

The Royals supposedly get great satisfaction from chasing down stags until they are shot or die of sheer exhaustion . I know Charlie boy did … sometimes took his two sons but they get a pass as they were too young to say no or even know any better
